Eye, Voyeur Agapornis

Lovebird: parakeet esp. of genus Agapornis said to pine away at death of its mate. (OED)

EYE Voyeur AGAPORNIS (EVA) was presented in 2005 during the Sex Party inauguration at the Video In. The installation consisted of curious inaugural participants looking through a small window into an adjoining room that contained two lovers, a pair of lovebirds in a birdcage along with two live feed video cameras. One camera focused on the lovebirds and lovers; the other camera focused on the eyes and faces of the voyeurs looking into the room. Real time video recordings were re-presented to the voyeurs and participants on two monitors in the main hall of the gallery.
