Installation view, Her, Mkalles Warehouse, Beirut, 2019
Her is a video installation inquiring into contemporary phenomena of “online romance” and “voyeurism”. A single horizontal screen, reminiscent of a window, serves as an affective interface that presents viewers with a voyeuristic sensorial experience and bodily triggers them.
The psychologically-charged editing creates an unsettling and visceral feeling, where viewers struggle between attraction and discomfort. Text in the form of subtitles is used as a vector for a narrative that explores the transactional and luring nature of nowadays interpersonal relationships associated with internet culture.

about
Charlène Dannancier is a French multidisciplinary artist and composer who undertakes an experimental inquiry that traverses the mediums of sound, performance, installation and film.
Through her compositions and live performances often as her sensorial persona UNN, Dannancier crafts immersive and gripping encounters, guiding the audience along an emotional trajectory that oscillates between the dimensions of intimate revelation and disquieting unease. It is within this dialectic interplay that the multifaceted aspects of human existence are interrogated, evoking profound inquiries into the notions of subjectivity, control, and vulnerability.
Dannancier's versatile nature and unique audiovisual utterance transcend traditional boundaries, involving her in various contributions ranging from art direction, art-books conceptualisation, as well as collaborations with the fashion, design industries and art-club institutions.
She is currently a student of the MFA ARTIFICIAL TIMES at Sandberg Instituut.
