Googling my Dreams

2015
Computer parts, game controllers, hats, wooden and plastic sticks
Dimensions variable

This work is an installation of hats and walking sticks, embellishments and accoutrements of style. I have attached computer parts to readymade hats and wooden and plastic sticks. All are lined up against a wall. The idea is to portray self-invention in a virtual world; how the latter provides me with a space to reinvent myself, in parallel with the cosmopolitan yet divided society I currently live in. I therefore perceive the internet as a heterotopic space that provides alternative answers to my questions concerning language, nationhood, race and origin.
