Acts of Proximity No. 01: Sleepless Skies
Installation, 2025
3D Printed Sheep, Weather Balloon
Since May 2024, North Korea has sent thousands of balloons carrying parcels of waste – including Hello Kitty merchandise, e-waste, cigarette butts, and soil with traces of human faeces – over the border to the Republic of Korea. While politicians in Seoul declare the balloons an act of war, the installation uses the playful form of the primary object in question, the balloon, to explore the ambiguity of the medium and its message.
