Link 2019
With the newly created video work LINK, Bourouissa expands his view to a similarly peripheral space and approaches the tabooed and simultaneously omnipresent practice of virtual sexuality. The semi-documentary work looks at video-chat forums and humanoid latex dolls that not only promise the fulfillment of physical pleasure but rather become places for the projection of and longing for emotional intimacy. Bourouissa discusses the bivalent relationship between humans and technical things that insistently surround us, and raises the question of whether and to what extent physical-emotional experience today shifts to an immaterial as well as an anonymous sphere.
