Weightlessness
Weightlessness is an immersive video installation that explores the feeling of being lost in the city. The main structure is built from scaffolding, with simulated plants placed in the gaps to recreate a miniature urban landscape. Aerial footage of high-rise residential buildings, recorded by drones, is projected inside to give the audience a sense of falling. The sound combines mechanical noise with a faint heartbeat. Visitors move freely through the internal and external spaces. The installation reflects on the effect of rapid urban development on the environment and people.
