Three theatre designers

Three unique responses
Three installations
One play-text 
Invisibility

  

The third of the series, #3.3 is a spatial installation in response to selected themes from the play Invisibility by Quah Sy Ren.

 

Conceived as a multi-dimensional ‘organism’, this living installation highlights the ephemeral nature of relationships and the interchangeable, interdependent forces of life that exist in this larger world. In this exploration of an organic spatial construct, solid and gaseous CO2 is used as a key medium to embody the transitional becoming of a state where and when the lifespan of this transition before a solid block of CO2 evaporates into thin air is in the scale of 1: 333333.333… to that of the lifespan of an average person.

 

Visitors will engage and contribute – by the presence of their energies in the space – to this organic spatial environment, and may find themselves creating a place to disconnect and reconnect all at once.
