Opening a voyeuristic lens onto conflicting authorship, Ideal Viewer is a two-phased series of performances, beginning with actors hired on Craigslist to improvise three biographical archetypes in the “neutral” gallery space—a Crying Woman, an Ex-Boyfriend, and an Interpreter. Amir then gives the reins to select viewers, enabling them to interact with an archetype in their own apartments. Provoking sexual sport, “author function” dysfunction, and technological disorientation, Ideal Viewer explores sexual and artistic identity, blurring the very notion of what is “real.”
