Invisible Suits are interactive suits made from special blue screen fabric (material used for work with video blue screen technique), where the blue color could be displaced by images or video footage. The intended effect is the virtual "disappearance" of the persons wearing the suits: their bodies merge with the visual environment they inhabit. The effect is achieved by the use of two cameras: one mounted on the person wearing the blue suit, and another one shooting h/er from behind.

These suits allow me to explore issues of silence and absence, integration and estrangement in different political and cultural environments. While drawing from theoretical concepts like the "invisible immigrant" and the double consciousness, through this work I am also exploring the space between the objective and subjective points of view.
