Love That For You, 2026

Pinhole Camera, convex mirror with embedded screen, live video feed

Dimensions Variable

On the gallery wall, a 4pt fake label full of art jargon lures visitors in to read. A pinhole camera hidden in the nail that holds the label captures their darting eye movements and relays them live to a convex mirror at the museum’s entrance, embedded with a screen. Those still outside see their own reflection, and within it, the eyes of the people already inside, seeming to scan the newcomers about to enter.

Visitors think they are looking at art, but they are the ones being watched; the label’s authority and opaque language turn the duty to “understand art” into anxiety. Soon they discover the mechanism and begin to perform, photograph, and share. The mirror at the door becomes a selfie spot, and the work shifts from a “surveillance trap” to a “check-in stage.” It asks: when viewing becomes self-display, are we seeking to understand art, or to be seen?
