WORK
I See You is an interactive mixed-media installation by Urban Projections, exploring identity, perception and the way technology shapes how we see ourselves.
Installed in a public setting, the work takes the form of a series of geometric cubes placed directly within the street. Their patterned outer surfaces and bold graphic forms draw attention, creating a contrast with the surrounding environment, while small peepholes invite closer, more deliberate engagement.
Inside each cube, mirrored interiors create an infinity effect, reflecting the viewer repeatedly back into the space. Carefully positioned light enhances this effect, producing a layered, shifting image that feels both immersive and slightly disorienting. The result is a fragmented, multiplied view of the self - immediate and unedited, in contrast to the more controlled ways identity is often constructed and shared online.
The interaction is quiet and individual, requiring the viewer to step in, pause and look. From the outside, the cubes remain closed and minimal; from within, they open into a more complex spatial experience that plays with scale, repetition and perception.
I See You creates a moment of interruption within the flow of a public space, using light, reflection and simple physical structures to draw attention to the relationship between image, presence and self.
