Catalogue excerpt: " 'Inside Out' can be read as a reference to the author Samuel Beckett. In his short novel 'Company', Beckett describes an opening and closing eyelid as being "Hooded. Bared." In 'Inside Out' the mouth becomes an organ of fascination and the camera the organ of the gaze: we see an opening and closing mouth. When the mouth closes, the space becomes enveloped in absolute darkness and silence. Not until the mouth again opens and breathes is a white light engendered, facilitating communication between the inside and outside. This act of physically breathing alludes to the relationship between language and visualisation: breath becomes image and sound, with the mouth-bound camera taking on the role of the retina, the mouth thus replacing the eye. The play on darkness and light, along with the suspension of distance between image and beholder, makes viewers aware of their breathing as a fundamental, preverbal, corporeal act."
