Introducing "Now/Here"—THE RESEARCH, THE PRACTICE and THE PERFORMATIVE INSTALLATION
"Now/Here" is a groundbreaking research, practice and performative installation that invites audiences to journey through the depths of spatial loneliness, alternative apocalypse, and representational identity. Developed through intensive research and artistic practice from February 2022 to March 2024, this body of work fuses photography and live performance to create an immersive experience that blurs the lines between reality and imagination.
In exploring the intricate relationship between "now," "here," and their fusion into "nowhere," the research, practice and installation stand as a profound reflection on the human condition, offering a unique lens through which we can examine our existence, identity, and the spaces we inhabit. This body of work is not merely an artistic expression, but a critical exploration of the themes of spatial loneliness, alternative apocalypse, and representational identity.

"Now/Here" contextualizes these concepts within the field of contemporary art by pushing the boundaries of how we perceive time and place. By engaging audiences in a dialogue between the immediate and the infinite, the installation blurs the lines between presence and absence, belonging and dislocation. It invites viewers to confront the void—both literal and metaphorical—where "now" and "here" dissolve into "nowhere," a space ripe for introspection and transformation.
This work is significant not just as an artistic practice but as a statement on the current state of human experience. In a world increasingly characterized by isolation, environmental uncertainty, and shifting identities, "Now/Here" resonates with the broader cultural moment, offering a space for contemplation and connection. It challenges the audience to consider their own place in the continuum of time and space, and how these concepts shape our understanding of self and other.
By integrating photography, live performance, and extended scenography, "Now/Here" bridges the gap between traditional and experimental art forms, making it a pivotal work in the field. It stands out for its ability to merge the tangible with the conceptual, creating an immersive experience that is both intellectually and emotionally engaging. In this way, "Now/Here" not only contributes to the evolution of performative installation art but also serves as a unique point of artistic practice that challenges and expands the boundaries of how art can reflect and reshape our world.
