What is the effect of limited physical space on the human body and mind? How do people experience pressure and what kind of feelings does it evoke?
The CONFINED SPACE installation consists of a wooden frame containing a large inflatable object with a small space in the middle. You look through the inner wall to a wall further away. The changing air pressure that the visitor experiences follows a certain rhythm. The object breathes and becomes a living organism. The visitor is sucked into a vacuum through the inner wall. The holographic material that can be seen through the transparent inner wall ensures a separation between the standard outside world and the world inside the object.
The work describes the duality between safety and entrapment and it tests one's comfort zone.
