The Novels of Elsgüer
Episode 4
Camouflaged Screams

Camouflaged Screams is an interactive installation exploring the (a)symbiotic relationship between humans and the natural environment. This augmented experience incorporates large scale panoramic video projections of a recorded performance with textile pieces, along with motion sensors, enveloping soundscapes, lighting setups and sculptural elements. As the audience moves around the installation, their movements have the capacity to alter the images and sounds in the space, asking viewers to reflect on how their presence and actions have a direct effect on the environments that surround them.

 

The title of the work refers to the idea of how a tense and atrophied relationship between body and environment can lead to a frustration that is both palpable yet invisible. Even as the natural environment shows signs of not being able to sustain our belligerent economy, the screams of the land and the affected communities, still go unheard. This audio visual experience calls for a conscious relationship with the environments that surround us.
