Playing God - Interactive Movie

Playing God is an interactive movie installation which challenges the concept of of the inevitability (or otherwise) of Destiny.

It is the story of a girl named Amy, who one summer�s morning wakes up to find that her cat Tini has gone astray in this huge mansion. The player/user is invited by Amy to help her look for Tini by choosing the right routes to take and aid her to look in the right nooks and crannies.

'Photos of Ghosts' (2008) is a series of double portraits in video and photography created through projected light; the semblance of a human given life through the intervention of a projector's image of a close relative; a work based on the projection of light as author of genetic flow and worthy maker of contemporary rites of passage.

This body of work formed part of the exhibition 'WATCH' at the Museum of Fine Art, Malta.
