Part of Hybrid Realities :Lab 1 (Lab → Output)
Virtual installation, Newart.city
A Body – An Egg – A Bird and A Stone invites visitors to consider the relationship between body and environment within a virtual context.
The installation positions the body not simply as a viewer within space but as a space in itself - a layered interior landscape that exists in constant relation to the environments it moves through. As visitors navigate the environment, recurring motifs appear: birds, eggs and stones. These elements function as symbolic anchors, prompting reflection on cycles of containment, emergence and transformation.
Through these encounters, the work raises questions about bodily interiority: how the internal dimensions of the body might be understood in relation to the spaces it inhabits and traverses. The body becomes both subject and environment, dissolving clear boundaries between internal and external worlds.
The installation combines multiple media - drawing, video and three-dimensional forms - to construct a layered spatial experience. Within this hybrid environment, physical and virtual spaces are not treated as separate domains but as increasingly intertwined conditions of contemporary perception.
By moving through the work, visitors are invited to reflect on how bodies navigate and shape the spaces they occupy, and how virtual environments extend and reconfigure those relationships.
