THE UNDERWORLD PART 2 (2024)

"THE UNDERWORLD PART 2 examines consent and ethical image-making through gendered performance, using the window as a motif to explore visibility, control, and the conditions of being seen. Two figures negotiate contrasting relationships to the gaze, one inviting it and the other resisting it, highlighting how boundaries are differently perceived and respected. Through repetition, lighting, and staged performance, the work questions how images are captured and what it means to be viewed under unequal conditions." - Latamai Katoa
