ONE SHOT performance by Carolina Pimenta questions our image obsessed society and resulting distortions of perception. With the overwhelming presence of social media in our day to day, it comes as no surprise that we create illusions and ideas of what we do and who we are through the digital filter of our screen.
Pimenta's performance takes place in a neutral location, a clean space, white walls. In her words:
"No phones allowed. Only one viewer can enter the room at once. Inside they will find a Polaroid camera. I am to be their object. They are allowed to take one single image. Once they have taken their photograph they are to place it at my feet. We are both confronted with the final image as it develops. The polaroid remains in the room. The viewer exists."
Result: 38 viewers, total of 180min
