TEMPLES
2021 | Art, Installation Art
Concept
As a critical reflection of our worship of monumental buildings as sacred places of devotion to work and study, TEMPLES exposes and questions our relationship with enormous resources invested in these building and how they function as powerful symbols of the work ethic they represent.
Through a multidimensional contemplative space, known places are activated in new ways, by facilitating a situation of visual, acoustic, and tactile stimulation of the senses.
Sound recordings from the locations can be both felt and heard through the pedestals activated with sound viscerally enhancing the experience of the locations.
Background
