Balloon Being

• 2014
• 300×300×500cm
• material: Vinil chloride, air

Just like water that originally didn’t belong to anyone becomes someone’s property, invisible air as well will perhaps be private property in the near future. With such things in mind, I used a balloon to imitate how one person and multiple persons at once breathe air, based on the image of a diver who lifts his head out of the water to breathe.

 

 

 

 

From another point of view, it’s as if the Earth and the air that surrounds it are being reversed. I imagined an “aerial” as opposed to the “terrestrial” sphere, into which people stick their heads instead of standing on it. This eventually took the shape of a giant head that is shared by multiple people.
