For many of us, looking in a mirror is already an act of comparison: with a younger self, an imagined self, or the person we think we ought to be. Hello You explores how memories, expectations and judgements become entangled with what we see. Through light, sound and illusion, a familiar daily encounter becomes strange. How do you recognise yourself? What makes a body feel like yours? And what happens when the image you know begins to slip?
Hello You is an autopsy of your reflection. Enter a darkened room for an intimate encounter with the person looking back. This mirror has two sides: one that changes with what you look for, and another that follows what you miss. Exploring stories of altered perception, from phantom limbs to the feeling of being a stranger in your own body, the installation stretches the split-second act of self-recognition into something you can watch unfold. Here you are invited to examine the lens through which you see yourself.
