Maybe in the darkness, we could have found each other in the end
Seeing our wounds would be harder
But we could have still feel them
Epiphany is a video, sound, and performance installation built around a poetic text initially written as a letter-like monologue. The poem was later re-recorded and transformed through sound processing techniques, including layering, distortion, and whisper-like vocal treatment. The voice becomes unstable, fragmented, and tactile, as if it is being constantly reflected and refracted within space.
The installation was conceived as a white cube environment in which a camera and a projector were physically connected. The projector displayed live images captured by the camera, creating a feedback loop of infinite reflections. This system produced a shifting visual structure similar to two mirrors facing each other, where images multiply, collapse, and regenerate endlessly. Participants in the space could interact with the camera by slightly moving or zooming it, generating different layers of visual recursion. The sound of the poem played in loop while the system recorded both the space and the interactions, turning presence itself into material.
The work draws inspiration from the idea of shadow and epiphany as coexisting states, where darkness is not absence but a condition of perception. It reflects on dualities such as light and shadow, presence and disappearance, hope and collapse. The epiphany here is not revelation in clarity, but a moment where meaning emerges through instability, fragmentation, and reflection.
The work was influenced by poetic writings on shadow and memory, as well as feminist literary approaches to embodiment and perception. However, it remains rooted in a personal inquiry into how intimacy, voice, and image can dissolve into one another within a shared space.
At times, the work shifted beyond its initial intention due to the presence of viewers and their interactions. Their engagement transformed the piece into something unpredictable, where interpretation and use diverged from the original conceptual framework. This tension between intention and experience became part of the work itself.
