Mirror, laser, text, 2026
Bitumen-infused mirrors reflect and carry a laser beam. The laser writes a looped text in the form of news from the underworld’s future. Announcements, edicts, and reports are transmitted as Hell’s electronic advertisement.
Commissioned by Fondation d’entreprise Hermès, Tokyo, and remade for Nida Art Foundation, 2026.
