Zen
Lighting installation
May 2018
In collaboration with Pawee Kobkitsakul and Chiratchaya Chantharamethikun
Zen ( 禅 ) is a light installation project where light is projected on a surface of water and reflected on a surface.
By concept, the aim of the philosophy of zen is to achieve one’s enlightened state of mind, to be one with the universe, and to liberate one’s inner being. To reach that, one must be "aware" of the nature at its most present state, and to be conscious in every feat of one's actions.
We have taken that philosophy and created an interactive device. Messages that have been input to the system will relay itself back to the viewer. with light as the medium, one will be able to see his/her message input in the form of visual vibrations, no different than seeing one’s own reflection on a mirror surface. One will be in touch with oneself, and in touch with the energy that is exerted into the world, as well as experience the feeling of being fully conscious of one’s actions at the most present state.
It is also to create an experience--a sanctuary where visitors can feel peace and harmony.
