How to get a passport 2024

Video sculpture

This project was part of the Figure it Out symposium and exhibited at Malta Society of Arts.

This piece is a multi-faceted video sculpture exploring the complexities of obtaining citizenship in a foreign country. Viewers are seated in a makeshift waiting room while an instructional video plays on a continuous loop. The video takes a satirical approach, highlighting the lengthy and often frustrating process of registering for citizenship and the disparity of wealth when obtaining citizenship through other means. Carefully placed elements within the video and physical installation subtly draw the viewer into the experience, making them an unwitting participant in the guided process.
