OUROBOROS
The Sibilant Light of Attention
Graduation Project
2023
This work has received the generous iii-residency award, awarded by the Instrument Inventors Initiative.
A present dystopia shows us a world of disembodied humans continuously distracted by their digital devices.
Within this multi-sensory installation you will find a dreamlike immersive realm, an interactive experience and a modern temple that aims to help you become aware of the mystery and movement of your attention.
Attention,
as a way to guide human energy through space and time,
is the most fundamental tool a human being wields.
Yet,
just as we can’t hear our ears,
taste our tongue or smell our nose,
it is a challenging paradox to attend to our own awareness.
OUROBOROS functions as a contemporary ritual shining a light on our subtle and elusive movement of mind.
“The Ouroboros is an ancient symbol depicting a serpent eating its own tail.”
