Dystortion is an exploration of urban space driven by a fascination with and apprehension of people’s movements
and interactions within their environment. This artwork transforms the mundane routines of everyday life into a dystopian illusion by reimagining Wynyard Station in Sydney, Australia.
Dystortion offers a different portrayal of society by altering the video record of the real urban environment with screen-printing aesthetics. The use of screen-printing techniques adds
a unique visual layer to the artwork, helping to reimagine the urban landscape in a way that challenges conventional perceptions,
The piece challenges viewers to consider the gap between known reality and unknown potential, evoking emotions such as fear, despair, anxiety, anger, sadness, isolation, and frustration.
These negative emotional responses highlight society’s undesirable aspects, compelling us to confront the harsh realities, consequences, and psychological impacts of living in controlled
and bleak environments. Dystortion acts as a form of surveillance, where participation is not a choice. This lack of choice underscores a sense of helplessness and paranoia in public
surveillance settings.
Dystortion draws on various key influences of urban dynamics, dystopian themes, screen-printing aesthetics, emotional provocation, and surveillance and control. The constant movement and interaction
of people within urban environments serve as a primary source of inspiration. Observing how individuals navigate and engage with their surroundings fuels the desire to reinterpret these spaces. By
combining these elements, Dystortion offers a thought-provoking commentary on urban life, encouraging viewers to reconsider their relationship with their environment and the societal structures that shape it.
