Interactive installation
A palimpsest is a manuscript page, either from a scroll or a
book, from which the text has been scraped or washed off so that the
page can be reused for another document.
To create this installation, Joanna photographed images from the television screen. These are revealed and manipulated by people interacting with the installation. What results is a dangerous, violent, disaster-ridden world of mass media, real and fictional. With sweeping movements of the hand, people change the image and re-shape it according to what they want to appear – but with no control over what frame will appear next.
