Installation work in the space
Sensitivity is a light-based installation that examines how repeated exposure can dull our response to violence, and how perception is shaped by atmosphere, sound, and visual rhythm. Through a carefully constructed sequence of sensory shifts, the work draws viewers into a space where discomfort and ease exist in tension, inviting reflection on the ways violence can become absorbed into the background of everyday experience.
Video of the projection on its own
As the installation unfolds, it gradually redirects attention towards the act of looking more closely and feeling more fully. Without revealing the project’s full progression, Sensitivity explores the fragile process of becoming emotionally alert again, using light, projection, and spatial detail to encourage a slower, more conscious engagement with images of harm and their lasting human weight.
