Fragmented is an interactive installation in which the spectator becomes the screen. When entering the installation you silhouette is detected by a Kinect camera. Images set in a database of avatars are continually being projected on your silhouette. Surrounded by walls of mirrors you seem to be floating in an infinite space. You become a virtual body, a body in process, a pastiche and copy of many different identities and a surface appearance in which the original you seems to dissappear. Fragmented asks the question in what ways our identities are being contructed by the media.
