The Truth Hurts

The Truth Hurts is my interpretation of our assignment The Senses. I placed two one-way mirrors facing each other. A projector was placed between them, projecting a video off one mirror and onto another. The reflection continuously bounced between the mirrors, creating a sense of infinity and depth. Part of the projection also shown through the mirrors, depicting the projection on the walls behind the viewer. The video shows only the movement of people’s lips as they talk but it has been muted, requiring the viewer to stop and concentrate on the movement of the person’s lips. As viewers yearn to interpret the mouths, they begin to realize that the mouths are in fact insulting them.
