What Chu Looking At ?
What Chu Looking At draws inspiration from traditional Haitian market scenes—imagery that filled Vancol’s childhood home. These faceless figures, set in vibrant landscapes, always intrigued her, as they represent real people.
This piece offers a modern twist, placing these characters in contemporary settings and giving them the power to look back at the viewer. By doing so, Vancol grants them agency, transforming once-passive figures into active participants in their own narrative.
What Chu Looking At s'inspire des scènes de marché traditionnelles haïtiennes—des images que Vancol a vues pendant son enfance chez elle. Ces figures sans visage, placées dans des paysages colorés, l'ont toujours fascinée, car elles représentent des personnes réelles.
Cette œuvre propose une version moderne de la scène de marché haïtienne. En plaçant ces personnages dans des contextes contemporains, Vancol leur donne le pouvoir de regarder le spectateur, qui les a longtemps observés. Ainsi, elle leur accorde une forme d'autonomie, transformant ces figures passives en participants actifs de leur propre récit.
