Domestic Language

Domestic Language is an immersive video installation that ventures into a realm of artistic exploration through the fusion of projection mapping and live performance. Within this captivating piece, computer-generated scripts are delivered by real performers whose faces are projected onto ethereal plastic eggs suspended within a floating cabinet.

The script itself ingeniously weaves together a tapestry of linguistic fragments. Concrete nouns sourced from the collaged images adorning the cabinet, abstract nouns extracted from the critical writings of Oscar Wilde, verbs derived from erotic fictions, adjectives borrowed from art gallery press releases, adverbs harvested from the speeches of former presidents, and interjections inspired by the onomatopoeia of animals—all find their place within this unconventional symphony.

By immersing the audience in this theatrical experience, Domestic Language challenges viewers to assume the role of disinterested spectators. The absurdity of the spoken words serves as a poignant reflection, hinting at the inherent futility of interpersonal communication. This echoes the timeless tales of the Tower of Babel and the philosophical musings of Ludwig Wittgenstein. Through this mesmerizing installation, the piece entices spectators to delve into the realm of the absurd, fostering introspection and prompting profound contemplation about the intricacies of human connection and understanding.
