Private - Public

Private - Public is an interactive installation by Politi Dimitra, developed as a postgraduate course project in 2023-2024. Two horizontal frames, reminiscent of shutters or window openings, alternate texture and illumination: a grid of small apertures admits pinpoints of outside light while sheer fabrics and lace act as semi-transparent veils that negotiate exposure and concealment.

The work operates at the intersection of physical and symbolic platforms. Layering and overlap create strata of privacy and public display, embodying emotional conflicts such as apprehension, anticipation, reticence, curiosity and extroversion. The shifting frame is not merely a visual effect but the conceptual engine of the piece: the movement from shadow to light and back again lets the viewer inhabit the uncertainty of moving between inner and outer states.

Technically the installation blends straightforward digital control with tactile, domestic materials. Modulation of light intensity and sequential layering produce a breathing rhythm, while interactive elements allow the piece to respond in graded ways to a viewer's presence or motion. The resulting choreography of opacity and revelation becomes an allegory for how platforms stage and mediate human behaviour.

Standing before it, the viewer encounters no fixed boundary. Instead the work offers the lived experience of ambiguity, inviting you to locate your own shifting limits between private and public through subtle variations of light and veil.
