+ about the work

Displaced is an interactive installation that responds to its audience through microphones embedded in the space. It creates an unexpected dialogue between the viewer, the object, and the surrounding architecture. Through subtle movement and sound, the piece heightens the audience's awareness of their own presence, prompting reflection on the chain of cause and effect set in motion by their actions. It invites a quiet meditation on how we can impact other beings—intentionally or not—and the delicate balance between curiosity and care.

Four microphones are placed in different locations; three are in various parts of the room, farther from the sculpture, while one is placed very close to the sculpture. Microphones pick up the sound of the viewer, and the sculpture's behavior alters according to where the people are in the installation space. The sculpture moves fluidly when the people in the space are farther away from the piece and stops or moves more irritatedly when the viewer is close to it, as the microphone closest to the piece pics up the sounds. The audience can see the fluid motion of sculptures up close only if they are very, very quiet when they approach the piece
