The installation manipulates viewers’ bodily sensations and their judgments of everyday life, seeking
to create a sense of familiarity imbued with subtle contradictions. During the hot summer exhibition,
the demolition of the building’s walls allowed the outdoor breeze to enter the space, evoking the
feeling of standing outside.
A common ceiling fan was installed, its blades replaced by an Ultrasonic Directional Speaker that
played the sound of a fan. By causing viewers to misidentify the natural breeze as an artificial indoor
wind, the work invites reflection on how perception is shaped through lived experience.
