MULTIMEDIA INSTALLATION
For her video art installation We Are Art she selected 4 of them who shared their personal accounts about how they overcame adversities such as bullying, racial discrimination, blindness, alcohol and drug abuse, sexual discrimination and crime. Their intimate revelations were transformed through Annalaura’s artistic interpretation by blending their stories with the language of photography, digital video art, sound design and sensory interaction stimulating a spiritual awareness of the value of every human being... no matter who they are or what misfortune they may have faced in life. The narrative has been integrated into the Giant Eye and projected through the Pupil allowing the viewer in the gallery, through virtual technology, to actually interact and become part of the installation. Thus, with each individual viewing “Collòculi” undergoes transformation as the artist, the art and its protagonists and the viewer become one... We Are Art!
