![]() Myriam Thyes Virtual Therapy Luxembourg/Switzerland 2006 09:55 installation/screening pl Neo, bohater filmu Matrix, leży na pierwszym planie, poruszając się nerwowo od czasu do czasu, jak gdyby śniło mu się coś złego. Za nim, w formie 'wklejonej' projekcji, kobieta opowiada treść filmu. Konstruowany jest rodzaj terapeutycznej sytuacji, w której można zacząć zastanawiać się nad tym co jest prawdziwe, a co wyobrażone, nad różnymi rzeczywistościami świadomości i nieświadomości. en Neo, the hero from the movie The Matrix, lies in the foreground, moving restlessly from time to time, as if he had bad dreams. Behind him, a "projected" woman reports about the content of the same film. A kind of therapeutical situation is constructed, in which one may reflect about what is real and what is imagination, and about the different realities of the conscious and the unconscious. | Myriam Thyes
