CONCEPT
Imagine walking through a shopping mall and you suddenly see your reflection against the backdrop of a desolate, war-torn area in Syria or South Sudan. Next, you discover it’s not your own reflection staring back, but a man, woman or child of similar posture. Worn-out, battered, on the run. Standing just like you stand, moving just like you move. A mirror image of a person like you, but wearing a much less fortunate pair of shoes. In Your Shoes is a video wall installation in a busy environment that digitally mirrors passers-by and puts them in the shoes of a refugee, for a brief moment.
