SELF by Harry Holcombe-James is a time-based experience that provides a technologically mediated meditation of and with the viewer’s reflection, comprised of a priming film and an individualised experience. SELF provides the viewer with an intimate space augmented by technological intervention of emotive sounds and perspective altering lighting with which the viewer can focus on seeing themselves and engaging in a heightened awareness and understanding of themselves. Through light, sound, and reflection SELF simultaneously dissolves the viewer’s sense of their individuality, whilst facilitating deepened senses of identification, recognition and knowing.

The SELF experience is a technologically mediated meditation with the reflection of the viewer achieved through an augmented surface that produces light and provides reflection. Throughout the meditation, the reflective surface pulsates between depthless colours, emerging and dissolving the viewer’s reflection. This section of the exhibition documents this experience through a series of still images.
