Using his installation PEEPHOLE as a case study, Sandoval's talk examines how at the moment the spectators are aware of looking at themselves looking, they perceive themselves as part of the space, sensing the spatial/temporal synchronicity of the body, thereby affecting and enriching the content of the installation.  This interaction creates a performative gesture that juxtaposes several discursive elements and unifies the space, the spectator and the installation.
