TR(US)T, 2022
Installation view, digital video, 30 seconds looped, 3000px, no audioTR(US)T is a looping digital video from the series BEHOLDERS, installed across a 16-square-meter LED display. A giant eye scans the museum like a security camera, then gradually splits into two slightly misaligned eyes, suggesting a system that cannot fully stabilize its own gaze. As the loop unfolds, the words TRUST and US slowly surface, exposing the emotional contract beneath surveillance: visibility exchanged for safety, access, and belonging. A dedicated website simultaneously live-streamed visitors interacting with the installation. The longer viewers watch, the more they feel watched in return, as the work turns observation into a question of power, intimacy, and consent. Exhibited in DYOR at Kunsthalle Zürich, 2022.

The site responsive work by was exhibited as part of the collaborative "A Slice of the Pie" screen as part of the DYOR exhibition at the Kunsthalle in Zürich, Switzerland, 2022.
“A Slice of the Pie” is by Silvio Lorusso & Sebastian Schmieg. For the duration of the exhibition DYOR, a 16 square-metre LED wall will display a circular pie-like shape divided into six slices. A dedicated website (a-slice-of-the-pie.live) will livestream the pie 24/7. Via the website, artists will be able to purchase one or more slices and fill them with their own artworks, thus becoming full participants in the exhibition. To define the appearance of the whole pie, they will have to collaborate or compete or hustle – or simply leave the final composition to chance.
