Sophie Noonan

Sophie Noonan’s interest lies with identity, exploring it in a performative and installational manner, she aims to tackle questions of personal identity and our current societies obsession with our appearance, looking closely at how peoples perceptions of themselves may be reflected in how or even if the participate. Her interest in collaboration and participation has been shown through exploring notions of spectatorship and interaction, creating an experience in which your position from voyeur to participant constantly shifts. She invites you to dress and undress her, leaving her identity open to alterations and dismissal.

Natasha D’Aguiar is exploring the unconscious. In using the participation of the audience she aims to create a stage, enabling the participant to react to the situation. Two situations will ensue, Silent Encounters and Interview Encounters. The situations will invite the spectator to become the participant by filming the sitter’s eye in a gallery context. Silent Encounters will explore the unconscious movements of the eye and the social element of communication between the artist and the participant. This exploration continues through the Interview Encounters by asking set questions in order to trigger reactions.
