In the liminal space between performance and authenticity, CHOREOGRAPHY portrays the gentle tension of being watched. Each vertical monitor presents a human/animal pair reflecting contemporary digital documentation: a person sits motionless on a sofa with their dog, their gaze fixed on the camera, creating a tableau vivant that blurs the line between video and photography. While the humans embody conscious stillness, their dogs move naturally, shifting from indifference to curiosity, seeking interaction with their companions.The installation's contemplative environment emerges through these arranged scenes, where human self-awareness meets canine spontaneity. The human bodies become living sculptures - despite their physical presence, they inhabit a constructed moment, their stillness is both real and artificial, a learned response to the camera's gaze. Meanwhile, their animal companions, navigating these moments with natural dynamism, reveal a presence beyond learned self-presentation.
