'MEDIUM’
Material surfaces are always performing, at different scales of time and space.
This MA project explores the vertical surface as a ‘medium’, at an architectural scale—operating between the worlds of the real and supernatural, material and virtual, digital and crafted, past and present.
With the use of light, sound and material textures, ‘MEDIUM; FÜUN' is a spatial installation in a speculative museographic context, enacted by the surface as a relational and performative device able to transport us into alternative narratives and worlds. In this piece, the surfaces explore feminine cosmological perspectives from South America through poetry and textile art; creating a liminal space for new conversations to emerge around space, materials and decolonizing feminism.
As a fraction from a larger virtual environment, the installation is made by digitally rendered sculptures cast in large-scale Jesmonite surfaces, charged with encoded layers of information with projection mapping, a sound landscape, a scupltural seat and a publication.
