TANGIBLE, INTANGIBLE is a live audiovisual performance featuring three LED displays and laser modules. All visual components are crafted around the central concept of the “tangible” and the “intangible.”
The performance uses red as its primary color—a wavelength at the farthest edge of visible light perceptible to humans. Red carries a physicality that can reach distant objects, embodying a color that seems to pierce through space and touch something deep within us. It symbolizes a universal, almost primal sensation.
For the first time in my work, I also incorporate yellow—introduced as a visual metaphor for mutation and contamination in response to the impact of COVID-19.
In scenes featuring laser modules, virtual imagery generated on the three LED displays is designed in direct relationship with the physical optical axis of the lasers. These interactions form the basis of spatial explorations around “shadow,” “intersection,” and “area / field / territory.”
During the pandemic, we have come to experience intimacy and connection through virtual space—grappling with notions of proximity and separation. We began to re-examine territory, borders, and our sense of distance from others across districts, regions, and countries.
This work captures those newly formed perceptions and translates them into visual phenomena. It treats our evolving spatial consciousness as a material—shaping a performative lens through which to reimagine presence.
