Playing God

Abstract

‘Playing God’ is a piece that started off in a similar manner to some of my other previous work, that is deconstructing a matter concerning the close to home socio-religious culture to re-organise it as a work that sits between extremes of what is perceived as trivial and what is considered spiritual. The work confronts the grand issue of God’s existence through the use of a mundane story as metaphor for the grand decisions of life. It is the story of a girl named Amy, who one summer’s morning wakes up to find that her cat Tini has gone astray in this huge mansion. The viewer/user is invited by Amy to help her look for Tini in the right nooks and crannies by making the right decisions and choosing the right routes to be taken.
