In Stay Behind the Line, viewers are confronted with an empty room they cannot access. This cell-like room is filmed in real time by a surveillance camera. But on the screen, a naked, huddled-up up body seems to fill the space and the viewer can interact with it. Do they assault it? Do they console it? Here social visibility, responsibility and human rights are questioned.

Born in 1981, Reynir Hutber lives and works in London. The work of this multidisciplinary artist, producer and musician lies at the crossroads between installation, live art, sculpture and new technology. He graduated with honours in 2003 from the University of Westminster (Mixed Media Fine Art), and spent a year in the Camden Film and Video Workshop in London in 2006 before obtaining his Masters in Fine Arts from the University of Brighton in 2009. In 2010 Reynir Hutber won the prestigious Catlin Art Prize for his Stay Behind the Line installation, which was also exhibited in 2011 at the Fierce Festival in Birmingham.
