Air Drop
Air Drop investigates the notion of ‘lightness’ in creating growing spatial conditions. A breathable ceiling re-examines the contrasting nature of air; despite being intangible, it can become a force strong enough to deform a surface and have a gravitational impact. The performative installation operated with an economy of means, suggesting lightness in its minimal construction, as new spaces are born. The ritual mimicked the cyclical growth of a human belly, changing from a visual scene to a physical object in conversation with the visitors. Visitors were asked to observe and embody the effects of air as they took a pause from the outside world.
