(Un)Becoming Women is an installation that invites visitors to explore the hidden complexity of post-feminist culture: a culture intertwined with patriarchal expectations, social pressures and self-objectification. The installation consists of an octagonal maze of screens with a mirror effect where the reflection merges with the omnipresent gazes of others. You are both spectator and observed, and challenged to reflect on the questions; who are you, and who do you want to be? The mirror effect creates a disturbing illusion of depth and movement, and projected videos transform the installation into an immersive environment.
