“I promise to be true (to you in good times and in bad, in sickness and in health. I will love you and honour you all the days of my life)” Is a take on today’s feminism. This interactive installation uses satire to critique the ones around it. “I promise to be true”, challenges traditional dynamics and explores themes of vulnerability, gender and power roles. An important aspect of this piece is the role of the viewer. The participation of the viewer blurs the line between piece/viewer, making it possible for them to experience first hand and be part of the artwork. Overall, “I promise to be true” is a powerful and provocative work that confronts the viewers on their own desires and expectation, and raises questions that resonates long after the interaction is over.
