interactive installation, 2017
A large stretch of water stands vertically facing the environment, seemingly calm at first sight. As a person approaches, their reflection begins to emerge from the depths of the ocean, creating an endless amount of waves along with it. Bubbles emanate directly from their body, spreading chaotically underneath the surface.
bounding main is an interactive installation presented as a
wide vertically standing water mirror. The surface lit up with crisp
contrasting blue tones and natural wave patterns via
projected light. The sun occasionally bends through these
waves, resting its light rays on the viewer’s eyes.
Users will be able to see themselves in the water and wade their way to the edge of the surface, never fully emerging due to the chaotic force of the waves acting against them. Yet this environment still retains a soothing quality to it, inviting the user to carefully explore this mysterious subaquatic territory.
