Ciara Elle Bryant:
aROUN?D
Installation
aROUN?D (2024) is an installation featuring two-channel video and slide projection, offering an immersive simulation of constant viewing. It mimics the overstimulation inherent in the continuous act of looking, seeing, and viewing that is currently a part of our culture. With particular attention to cultural signifiers, aROUN?D repeats itself, much like history.
