With one regular apartment as a surface, cover each wall, with a face, combination of faces or aspects of the human face.
Some will fill the entire wall, some will be hard to find, some will be in your face, some will be trying to escape. The idea is to create a different kind of gallery where the art is not framed, hung and obvious to the people walking through. It's not put on display as if you are entering some kind of clandestine land and have no other purpose there than to look at art...
Instead of walking into a gallery and being confronted with artwork, you are walking into a living space and the art work is looking at you. Instead of seeing framed squares on a wall, you're looking at the walls, looking for the faces or reacting to their overwhelming presence.
It's a project that, hopefully, would create a totally new viewing experience in comparison to your average gallery. While some pieces will jump and fill the space, others will recede, waiting for the viewer to find them, hoping they aren't overlooked (or maybe, hoping that they will be). The viewer isn't presented with a collection, but asked to explore a living space...invading this unknown space much like the faces that peer back at you.
