Installation Performance FLUID MOSAIC
FLUID MOSAIC is an interactive installation performance using movement, live sound, light projection and plastic material. It is inspired by human biology. The design of the environment suggests the internal world of the human body as it takes us on a visual journey of cellular fluids and fascia network. We manipulate plastic to find its transformative properties and biological correspondence. The result is a production of physical movements, visual images and live sound derived from this material.

Sensorial Body and Phenomenological Space
“Sensorial Body and Phenomenological Space” is a performance workshop created in collaboration with Olafur Eliasson’s immersive water installation, Rainbow Assembly.
The work focuses on expressing our internal awareness derived from perception and sensation, into movements. It is designed for participants to communicate with each other what they feel and think about Rainbow assembly through bodily movements caused by interactions between body and space.
