Therapy of being isolated ( temporary)

isolation, relationships
Keywords Research:
isolation, relationships
My objective:
It is a very personal work.
I always have such a picture in my brain:
Being located inside a crowded environment, people passing around me like I am transparency , I am frozen,
I can do nothing besides watching other people doing their own stuff.
Sitting on an immobile wheelchair , watching the high ceiling whole day ...
What are you thinking of ?
More we desire to escape from the box,
more we are being trapped, by our difficulties, by our limitations.
Like a bird without wings;
Like a wheelchair without wheels.
It is a loop.
Abstract:
Believe everyone should have experienced and suffered from a timeless wound, no matter on physically or mentally.
Believe only through the process of recreating the scene which hider me to step out , I will be released.

Floor plan:
Top view:
The shape should be oval.
Space inside should be wide enough.

Environment:
Top view:
The shape should be oval.
Space inside should be wide enough.
Indoor public space
Setting:
A large screen made into a cylinder shape, distinguished a private area inside a public space.
Inside the screen, a concrete wheelchair which wheels are sticked into floor is placed in the centre / or a bit side of space,
and the floor is placed with sticky and pricking materials.
Audience are encouraged to sit on the chair, but they have to walk through the floor.
More close to the chair, more this kind of materials, more difficult to walk.
the process of reaching the wheelchair might have a little bit plain and uncomfortable feeling.
A tension between go out and stay.
The private space should not be too small in order to create an atmosphere with lonely and silent, also with cozy tangston lighting.
