Infrathin

Infra-thin is a large transparent  toroidal installation, a wooden pressure chamber built with reused  doors from my grandfather’s childhood home. Figuring around my continuous interest in the interplay of time, space, memory and consciousness, the installation is a speculative fiction wherein the audience can observe two performers interact within the flexible membrane. Delving into the relationship between the human and non-human they eventually enter and disappear into the tunnel, as light and sound shifts around them.

The installation aims to create a dynamic and sensitive environment which, being translucent, continuously changes based on the conditions beyond it. It encourages participants to think about the membranes through which we view the world, be these societal or emotional or sensory. The project specifically explores the relationship between mental states and clothing, as well as how body and identity are influenced by both physical and psychological spaces. In a time when many feel disconnected from their authentic selves, the work investigates possibilities for meaningful conversations and new insights into our understanding and interpretation of the world around us.
If perception and language objectify the world, if imagination structures it, and if knowledge organizes it—how, then, can we describe, name, or even comprehend what happens when language is absent, when perception unravels, and when knowledge escapes us? How can we express, reveal, or make known the things within us that challenge order, reality, and our understanding of the sensory concept.
