*Monitoring (2010) - video installation

I deal with the problem of vision and perception in the Monitoring video installation again. What do we actually see and what factors have an influence on the processing of images we perceive? The so-called 4D sonograms have become very popular among today's young parents. This kind of visualization have been known only from the world of sci-fi so far - how are those blurry, damaged and occasionally frightening pictures able to generate any warm emotions after all? In this video I investigate the limits of perception by using the sonogram images as a start-up. The fetus has been replaced by a passively lying, grown-up human, who is slowly being scanned by the nosy lens of the camera. However, the disturbing pictures provoke certain reactions from the viewer: slowly human parts can be seen in the mass of senseless distortion. We see what we do want to see, and mostly it seems to be another human.
