Shipwreck (2004) is a video installation based on a reflection about the human condition, addressing issues of isolation.
This audiovisual project consists of two large video-projections, geographically opposite; the spectators cannot reach them simultaneously, but they might fill the place of absence left by the mute characters on each: a female and a male character – two urban castaways. Far away from each other yet also behaving like mirror images, these strangers keep a mute restlessness within their visual confrontation: they are not together because are incapable of it. Architecturally, these videos replicate the same space where they are installed and presented.
