Defined as the ability of a body to let light go through as well as the quality of a person whose thoughts are easy to understand, Inner Self is an interactive video installation reflecting on the transparency and authenticity of our social image. In the project, TV screens have been modified to turn transparent. When you face them, you are able to see your reflection,a digital image and a mysterious object placed behind the screen.

The narrative, delivered in the form of a CGI video, draws its inspiration from the end of the myth of Narcissus to place it in a contemporary context. Each chapter confronts us with our own reflection in different manners. Through the transparent screen, The Garden (Chapter 1), questions the authenticity of the visible image. Which elements are real, fake and reliable? The Chapter 2, The Building of an Image, plays with the resolution of a Led Panel that determines visibility. Visitors' images are locked into 64x64 pixels protected by a hostile ceramic to underline the fact that this digital image is not totally in our control. Finally, Are we Transparent (Chapter 3) concludes with the layering of a digital mirror and an acrylic panel to reveal the multiple reflections behind which our personalities hide.

Inner Self questions the consistency between the digital image we convey and the one we truly are. It asks whether the digital image we rush towards is real.
