You walk into a remote lake at night and you sense that you are violating the lake environment when you stop hearing its living noises. If you stay there for a certain amount of time, without disturbing them, they start to make their living noises again as if they are trying to say, “we understand that you are not here to harm us, we welcome you.”I started questioning more and more about the benefits of human intervention on nature. While I was searching for some referential points for my project, I encountered the term “Animating Principle of Life” mirrors mine. The incomprehensible laws of nature concern the physical and spiritual metamorphosis of a body, whether it is human, animal, or plant. These thoughts lead me to create the piece called “Interference”. Although this piece is constructed based on my personal understanding and interpretations, this body of work is about awareness.I try to encapsulate both personal experience and the theoretical aspect of extinction related issues without creating a hierarchy between the two of them. By utilizing the two monitors to deal with real subjects and yet show extension of the space.
