Falling Out of Orbit
2024- Installation
Exhibited at De Fabriek, in Fauxbia Collective exhibition ‘Fake Fiction’
To observe an alien celestial body, is to wait for
it to slowly reveal itself as it turns along its orbits. From far away at
vastly different scales, a giant planet can only be experienced as a series of
flat faces that reach our eyes from one past moment and another. Much like
watching a film, images are sequentially brought forward from its loop,
creating an illusion of coherency. So when we piece together the surface of a
celestial body, the result is never the integral existence of it at one unified
moment, but scattered pieces in its constant aging along the orbits.
[Falling out of orbit] plays with this illusion of coherency in
our observing of the entities beyond the limits of our perception. From a tiny
observing point such as the eyes of a fly, the body of human becomes a
mysterious fragmentation of moments.
