| "look in lookout" explores the external illusion of a loving family, inviting home and the reality of domestic abuse. the front entrance is welcoming. when you look through the peephole you see a woman with a black eye. the back interior reveals holes in the door punched by abusive family members and dilapidated tile on the floor. when you look through this peephole you see the same woman walking casually up the sidewalk carrying groceries. when you walk by the back interior, you trigger a motion detector with a 5 second soundtrack of beating and crying - the same amount of time you hear odd voices and within minutes discount them as "nothing". the door came from an actual abusive family. |
