Self/Defense is an immersive media installation by Aurora Mititelu that proposes a poetic interpretation of human vulnerability and inner conflict through the use of digital representation and experimental film techniques. The work is a personal reflection on the internalization of narrative structures to make sense of one’s own psyche and autobiography. Through an iterative, obsessive loop, the piece creates a continuous tension between tranquility and conflict. It represents an aim to turn one’s skin inside-out, to transform a visceral feeling into a monumental, spatial, and aesthetic experience.
