“Global Keystone” 2023, Installation, Mylar balloons, Helium, Projector

The keystone is the uppermost stone of an arch that locks the structure to ensure durability. Keystone is also an effect related to the projection of light; it causes the shape of an area to change when light or a projection hits the surface, especially when the light source is not positioned at a right angle to the surface.. 

A reflective cluster of helium balloons hovers in front of the video projection’s keystone effect test grid, disrupting the grid’s pursuit of orderliness and predictability by casting convex reflections from the surfaces of the spheres. When people move through the space, the air randomly shifts the balloons and their reflections. The work delves into the struggle to control chaos and the impossibility of doing so. In a world where the intricate trajectories and reflections of visible effects are impossible to fully comprehend, anything can serve as both a locking and completing key and a keystone.
