This work extends my investigation of shifts in spectatorship in the context of the digital. It seeks to bring a live social context to bear on acts of looking and being looked at that might more commonly occur through digital media. The work aims to explores the processes of looking at and being in a spectacle, flipping the focus from the performing body to include the camera, gallery space and spectator. An interchange between the ‘live’ and the represented is theatrically stage to produce slippage between bodies that may act and be acted upon , and those that exist as spectacular image that can be exchanged in the economy of the visual. Themes of voyeurism, exhibitionism and narcissistic fascination twist and cross, as viewers become embroiled in their own act of consumption.
