Spectre: In the Eyes Of a Stone
Video Installation
2024

The concept of sekala-niskala (physics-metaphysics) reality becomes a non-binary dichotomy where life-death and the physical-metaphysical world are reflected in the traces of geographic landscape artifacts and megalithic site architecture. This work invites our imagination to envision the metaphysical space through the visualization of 3D scanner results, where the screen becomes a reflection of “eyes” recording reality. Based on the impressionistic logic of light, the ‘reflection’ of the site’s form and light points triggered by sound give a new dimension to anthropomorphism. At the exhibition’s opening, the work can be interactively played, where sound triggers visual changes. Afterwards, this interaction will be documented in a video to be exhibited the following day.
