Phasianus (constellation)

Title: Phasianus (constellation)
Place: ≪Making Matters≫, Forever✰
Date: 3/29/2024 - 4/12/2024
Medium: mixed media installation
Dimension variable

Inspired by the convergence of animism and digital interfaces, this collaborative installation bridges three distinct realms: the unconscious, reality, and the digital.

Designed by TAKA Collectives, Matter is a cubic object with a digital screen displaying a visual of vibrating strings. These visuals extend into physical strings that connect the cubes to one another, forming a geometric arrangement. Inspired by animism as an everyday practice in the past, I created a series of pyramidions and totems adorned with birds’ feathers collected from incidental kills by my dogs.

These objects are arranged in a ritual, forming a sacred constellation in memorial to the departed--now linked to the perpetuity of the digital realm through the interface of the Matters.
