Comfort & Control
Set in a courtyard that is neither fully public nor fully private, this two-part installation asks where comfort ends and control begins—and how small collective gestures can reopen agency. Visitors move from watching to acting: they leave traces, witness signals, and help turn a threshold into shared ground.
This Is All About
This Is All About is a 32-metre, ground-level canvas installed as a public field. With no fixed rules—only quiet prompts—visitors’ gestures of walking, pausing, writing, and drawing inscribe the surface. Over the week, these routes, notes, and sketches condense into a collective statement, shifting authorship from the individual to the crowd. The field is lightly activated by slow passes on a kick scooter, signalling permission rather than instruction. By turning everyday footfall into visible traces, the work reflects on how shared space converts private thought into public gesture and asks what responsibility accompanies expression.
Heartbeat in the Gaze
Heartbeat in the Gaze is a wearable device shaped like an ancient helmet. Inside, a mechanical aperture opens and closes in real time, responding to the wearer’s heartbeat. As anxiety increases, the aperture widens, red lights flash, and a warning alarm sounds. In this moment, the body becomes both subject and signal, revealed through its own rhythms. By translating inner emotion into visible and audible data, the work visualises the tension between comfort and discomfort within surveillance, and asks how our internal states are exposed—and even shaped—by systems beyond our control.
