OPEN HOUSE was a continuous 3 day live stream stop-motion animation project. It featured a family of mannequins mysteriously moving around on a security camera feed in real time.
What is the relationship between the expectation and the reality of our own experience? Where and when are we able to reflect on this? Who’s watching who?
