GhostWatcher is an interactive video installation inspired by the Art - House Horror Genre, and the aesthetics and mystery of the 1990s internet culture. It draws from the concept of an old website with the same name, where users could watch the house of a girl named June 24/7 through surveillance cameras, while a parallel live diary documented her increasingly unsettling mental state. The site eventually shut down following her unexplained disappearance, which remains a mystery.
In the installation, the viewer becomes an observer of archival VHS-like footage, watching June as she begins to feel that she is not alone in her home. Through specially modified glasses with red and blue filters, viewers can experience two simultaneous versions of reality — one more familiar, and another more distorted and unsettling.
The work explores the boundaries between observation and participation, reality and perception, leaving open the question: is what we see real, or a projection of June’s mind?
