SEBASTIAN, site-specific light and space work, The Netherlands, Maastricht, 1999

A slide image of the back of my body has been projected on a curtain of a private's home window in Maastricht. The projection has been done such as the folds of the curtain to create the illusion of wrapping around the hands and the opening resembling the cut from the curtain to appear such as a cut into the body.

The title of the work has been chosen both in relation to the Renaissance painting of St. Sebastian of Masaccio - pointing towards the unseen part of the body in the painting as well as because this was the hiding name of one of the characters from Shakespeare's plays, name taken by the feminine character both for the purpose of travel as well as other social deeds usually assigned to men in that society - in her quest for finding her brother.
