Statement

'This work by Wirz, building on his ongoing explorations into livestreaming as a medium for performance, with all its associated glitches and gaffes, stages a monitor screen behind the screen of a two way mirror; this allows for the livestream performer to call in and be “present” within the gallery. The in-person visitor may not know this and naturally feels invited to check up on themselves in the mirror, only to realise they are not alone in looking.’ - Cameron McClellan
