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.
