Windows 6 + 1

is an in-situ installation created in the annex of the Higher Institute of Fine Arts of Sousse. The space originally had six windows; I added a seventh - a wooden, simulated one - identical in size and form, with a printed photograph suggesting an exterior view. The illusion went largely unnoticed, turning the room itself into a subtle trompe-l’œil.

The work echoes both Baudrillard’s notions of the simulacrum and the simulated and the logic of digital interfaces - a play on Windows 7, where an additional “window” expands the system’s frame of perception.
