Delegations (2007-2008) is a series of works exhibited in Turkey (Delegation I: "Eigenvekil"), Mexico (Delegation II: "Eigenrepresentante") and South Korea (Delegation III).
Eigenrepresentante is an installation piece which consists of an LCD screen, a PC and a webcam. When viewers look at the screen they see two different real-time projections of their captured face image side by side, one being constructed from statistically calculated face features of all members of the Senate of Mexico, the other from the members of the Chamber of Deputies of Mexico. The viewer looks at the screen as if looking at mirrors, only to realize how limited he or she is represented. For the sake of generalization, political representation, mathematical representation and artistic representation all blur the features of the subject represented. Using these different types of representations, the piece points out a problem in representative democracy.
