NIGHT PROJECTION WINDOW - MOVE
MOVE is Eamonn Verberne’s latest investigation into the particularities of what tourists do when they go on holiday. Developing previous explorations of the phenomena of vacations, MOVE questions the need to validate a holiday by capturing it within an image, recording events like experience in a résumé, almost as confirmation.
MOVE examines the vista of the careless tourist and their pursuit of the quintessential image, questioning the very notion of the perfect holiday and our desire to believe in its possibility—despite what the picture indicates.
