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.”
