This semester I tried different experiments and different replicas. I first started using as a replica projected fragments of the existing environment (reality). My existing environment was the small white room with the window in Pastoe. I did all my experiments there. After successfully testing the projection as a replica I started experimenting on its relation with the other two components in order to create the deceptive situation. The rupture with “the expected” didn’t always exist and that made me realize that this is the key that unlocks the deceptive effect. However, I worked a lot with time and I explored how the feeling of time passing can become deceptive. This thought led to my next experiment...

abstract
What triggered me to start this research is the multiplicity of reality. How something is represented, how it actually is and then how we all perceive it in our very own way. In that sense reality doesn’t exist, only versions of it. The lack of awareness of this multiplicity affects a lot our lives; what we believe, what we take as granted and how he behave.Through this practice based research I am experimenting on how to create moments of surprise and realization for the spectator. I work with copies and representations, replicas as I like to call them. The Replicas can be made of different materials, can be virtual or very physical. Until now I used scale models, mirrors and projections but the list is endless; so are the different ways to use the replicas or the impact that they will have. The way that the replicas are introduced to the spectator and their interaction is also very crucial in my work and another field to research. The movement and the body play a significant role to this. The special relationship that we have with our body, the way that we perceive it and how the movement can reset these relations and affect how we experience things.
