PoSSeSSiONz

Interactive video and sound installation

A lonely darkened storage unit is transformed by a magic lantern into a shadow box showroom. PoSSeSSiONz is a temporal memory-scape of embodied voyeurism via an interactive video and sound installation. With glimpses and echoes, the narrative associated with hoarded stuff is accompanied with gesture controlled synthesizer sounds and an urban soundscape.
