device to EXIT FOMO - 2022

 

Audio-video installation of a 1/10 real life greenhouse located not far away from Bucharest. During lockdown, while being isolated, it became a place, both in my mind and physycal, where I would get myself out of the fear of missing out.

The installation provides real time sound interaction with the public, by letting them modulate the frequencies through analog synthesisers. Inside, there is a video of the protagonist doing silly dances and contemplating. In this way there are two main parts of the work, a controlled one where the character inside the greenhouse is continuously dancing (on its own), and a part where the public can set foot in an otherwise private bubble, creating their own soundscape. The work makes a statement about intimacy and public space, isolation and social relationships during lockdown and the time that followed. Moreover, the actual space that was only providing shelter for growing tomatoes at the beginning, took over from being something super personal into a community space that hosts (online) exhibitions off-season.
