The Flip Side of the Coin is a

site-specific performance and

live-feed video installation that took place at Chemist Gallery from 30 October 2025. The work transforms the building into a stage of shifting realities, exploring the tension between performance and audience, between what is seen and what remains concealed.

Across two floors, the audience moves through both gallery and domestic spaces while two live cameras stream actions between rooms, intertwining the acts of observation and participation.

The project expands the idea of stage and backstage, creating an environment where artistic struggle, everyday gestures, and performance merge freely, allowing what is usually hidden

or restrained to surface.

Ten artists inhabit the space, each reflecting different parts of

Mine’s collaborative communities, diverse in voice, form, and perspective. Downstairs, performances unfold in a formal setting; upstairs, the domestic space becomes an unpredictable common ground.

Curated by Norman Mine, the project brings together artists from his wider community and his fictional performer, Dino De Sica,

in a collective action that navigates contradiction, vulnerability, and presence.

After the performance, the gallery remains in suspension: fragments of image, sound, and object trace what has passed, holding the tension between what disappears and what endures.
