Reverse

The work explores latent images hidden within everyday scenery. Through underexposure and digital manipulation, the reflection of light on snowflakes is transformed into portraits of stars—revealing a cosmos beneath one’s feet. In the exhibition, the project is presented as a two-part work: an installation and a performance. The indoor installation features a photographic print on fabric suspended mid-air, seemingly defying gravity, while grip tape applied to the floor beneath mimics its cast shadow. Merging into the museum’s grayish environment, a 9x12 negative film floats silently, displaying a line of text: ‘When the weather is nice, a kite is flying.’ This phrase refers to an outdoor performance where I fly a kite, projecting the image of a future event.
