Within this framework, we challenge the linear perception of time the idea that time moves in a straightforward progression by introducing the cyclical, multidimensional nature of existence, where time is not merely a series of events but an unfolding web of interrelated experiences, each impacting the others across dimensions.
The work challenges the duality of the internal versus the external, emphasizing that they are mere constructs. By representing this duality as non-existent, the viewer is invited to perceive a reality where these categories dissolve, shifting our collective understanding of space itself.
The work paraphrases, through audiovisual means, Plato’s allegory of the cave, in which the philosopher asks us to imagine prisoners chained in a cave, only able to see shadows on the wall cast by objects behind them. The prisoners believe these shadows are the only reality, unaware that they have three-dimensional bodies. They talk to each other, but since they hear only echoes bouncing off the wall, they believe they themselves are shadows.
