The Red Room

The Red Room is a representation of different spaces as depicted in literature and moving image, including a meeting room (Strindberg), a haunted room (Wells), and a waiting room (Lynch), where this room is symbolic of inner fears and desires, reflections and imaginations, an in-between and extra-dimensional space, and a satire on life.

Four spaces are revealed in this short video loop - a bedroom and an obscured space kept separated by a glass window; a room flooded by a red light and a room unveiled by a flash of light. While our attention is drawn to the person in picture in this moment of clarity, their identity is further masked, creating an unsettling atmosphere of the unknown.
