Forget Your Fear

Site-Specific Video Installation for Colors of Peace Exhibition

For the "Colors of Peace" exhibition, a site-specific version was developed: a 6:30-minute video loop as a spatial projection in the church. The sacred architecture amplifies the contemplative dimension of the text work, creating a dialogue between the fragmented language play and the spiritual space.

Concept

The installation transforms language into spatial experience, where the continuous movement of words generates both calm and irritation—a meditative process of reading and unlearning meaning. Within the church's acoustics and lighting environment, the work becomes part of the broader exploration of "Sound. Light. Color. Voice. Movement. Silence" that defines the Colors of Peace program.

Spatial Integration

The sacred architecture of the church space serves not merely as a container but as an active participant in the work's meaning-making process. The video projection engages with the architectural elements, allowing the moving text to interact with columns, arches, and surfaces, creating a dynamic relationship between the digital and the sacred.
