untitled (year of the snake) (2025)
Interactive installation, in collaboration with Marijana Radosavljevic
Space Garden · Da Nang, Vietnam | February 22-March 16, 2025
untitled (year of the snake) is an interactive installation that evokes the sinuous presence of a serpent suspended in midair. Created for the Year of the Snake, the installation winds sound-responsive LED lights through a network of air-conditioning ducts, forming a spiraling structure that dances between color and shadow. Inspired by the snake as a symbol of transformation, the work reflects themes of change and renewal. The shifting lights and dual forms underscore the idea of shedding skin, or letting go of the old to make way for the new.
The interplay between the two "snakes" is central to the installation’s immersive effect. One snake, constructed of ribbed plastic, diffuses the LED lights in soft gradients. The other, clad in aluminum, scatters the reflective glow across the space. As sound fills the room, the lights ripple in response, bringing the serpentine form to life as a shifting, breathing entity of light and sound.
