The Balaclava Experiment

I am working on a series of performances and films focusing on the reactions and connections shared between two people when they invade each other’s personal space. I have fabricated a conjoined balaclava, worn like a hood but joined to the person directly opposite. The performers each wear spy cams attached to their heads and record each other’s reactions, which I edit into split screen videos.
