IN-BETWEEN MIDN AND WORLD

Year: 2022
Type: Personal
Category: Animation, 3D Modeling

This is an on-going project exploring the relationship between subjectivity and objectivity. Taking my living surroundings as an example, I discovered a continuous dialogue happening between the inside and the outside. The body acts as a mediator to transmit emotions, cognitive processes, and somatic states to the space that acts as a container to carry subjectivities and merge with them. 

I constructed a virtual space by combining photogrammetry of my living surroundings with sound composition. It is an ambiguous area that projects the dialogue happening between emotions and objects
