Vic
Vic has built him/herself up as something of an idol. From the outside we see a perfect sheen of composed confidence, sophistication, strength and beauty: a charismatic force that inspires and draws people into h/er world. S/he feels entitled to adulation and special treatment by h/er followers and has the unique power to both influence h/er devotees yet provoke h/er detractors.
But Vic oscillates between two poles: s/he feels destabilised when s/he is not at the central dynamic from which energy flows. While giving the appearance of depth and complexity, Vic can’t help but feel that someone may discover a crack in h/er thin veneer, that h/er mundanity will be revealed. So Vic constantly morphs h/er enigmatic facade into that which s/he believes is desired, in the hopes that no one will see beyond the bravado.
'Vic' is part of insitu’s Cycle III, in which four group exhibitions are developed as if they were fictional characters. Each character is based on either a particular psychological profile, personality trait, or an existing character found in literature, film, or music.
