In this installation, an iconic tabloid photo of the notorious student-teacher couple Mary Kay Letourneau and Vili Fualaau is given the power to return the viewer’s gaze. The image is transformed into a haunted house “spying portrait” by cutting Vili’s eyes out of the image and mounting a monitor behind the make-shift wall. While Mary Kay has eyes only for Vili, his wandering digital gaze throws doubts on his intentions. This work was made for the exhibition Turning Tricks: Old-School Magic by New School Artists (2005)
