for all the things we wanted to be
InstallationJune 2022
The installation is my suggestion that a swing is the perfect addition to an art space.
The experience of swinging, specifically swinging as part of an exhibition, is a metaphor I use for my research on the feeling of connectedness. Being-on-the swing is a materialization of the being-in-connection with a work, creating that special energy not through a mental state but a physical one.
To me, the swing represents an in-between space: between sky and ground, between being attached and detached. It is not a very permanent space, but the activity of swinging feels timeless. Ultimately, the swing is not an object, nor a space but it creates a space. Swinging is not a moment, but it creates one.
