This artwork is composed of a multitude faces from people.
The interactive installation grows and evolves during all the exhibition period.
A face appears in video projection on a fine circle made with stretch fabric. It is a symbolic skin to touch and explore.
When someone caresses / touches lightly deeply the fabric, another part of an other face appears under the hand.
Like a Russian doll, the faces are nested in each others. Or like a multitude of puzzle of faces superimposed each others .
A multitude of scenarios are possible.
A caress on the eyes reveals a sight of another person.
A touch on the lips of a man reveals the smile of a woman.
The light touch on the cheek of a child suggests the wrinkles of an old man.
Etc...
The order of the faces is evolving also randomly after several minutes
The faces come from voluntary inhabitants filmed during few seconds.
