A shadowy story unfolds in the flickering light of the concrete-grey car park: a creature – neither entirely human nor entirely alien – opens up a mythological world that addresses the viewer with self-critical questions. How does one’s own body relate to this figure, to its vulnerability, to its environment? In it, we encounter an ecofeminist perspective that questions the separation of humans and nature, subject and object in an unreal setup. The installation explores transitions between perception, identity and memory, unfolding a moment of uncertainty. Transformation appears not as a dramatic change, but as a quiet shift between states, times and sensations.
The car park becomes a resonance chamber for these questions: a threshold place where both individual and social perception are set in motion and seeing becomes a physical experience; fleeting, tentative, open and yet possibly overwhelming.
