We are preoccupied to examine our social behaviors and subjective relationship with both general historical issues and the different cultures we are part of.
Living in time of crisis like this, in a world where the defense against the unpredictable is unfolding itself in so many ways, we bring viewers into our own life.
Borders are closing, we experience life through the media and social media.

Time has blurred reality, art, living, exiting into a melting pot, where our POV has changed .
The standby button has been pushed.
However, the reality insists on penetrating.

The automated camera gaze in Modern Escape starts all the way from the floor and takes over the human gaze; the world is migrating, walls are shooting up at the same speed as refugee camps and now infections are spreading.

The art room is transformed into a living room where a TV displays reality by showing excerpts from TV news.  At the same time, television commercials offer surveillance equipment and anti-theft devices to keep the world out: And the living room turns into a safe guarded castle. 
We need to be aware of how to react and act to keep our solidarity and humanity - insisting on dialogue.
