Disorientation Station
Terminal, 11the Shanghai Biennale "Why Not Ask Again?", Shanghai, 2016
Our brain interprets the flux of impressions we exchange in multidimensional spaces and multifold times into a seemingly ordered space-time; we recognize what we are in as if we were already there. But this is Disorientation Station. Here perceptual points that connect us with our environment lose their transparency, become visible as edges. The speed with which the seen becomes known is altered, and space opens up for the imagined
