THE RITUALS OF VAPOR SHELLS is a video installation and site-specific, interactive experience that explores the connections and boundaries of fluid existence.
In several rituals it opens an experiential self-care space to engage with questions of an expanded hybrid existence. The installation is an intimate, performative enactment of physical and mental regenerative processes based on the idea of hydro-feminism and the concept of bodies of water.
The interior’s comprehensive transformation of existing spa environments creates an oasis of amorphous presence, swimming pools infused with underwater sounds inviting visitors to linger on listening to a soothing voice guiding into deep relaxation. Bathtubs filled with water beads put the visitors‘ bodies into new senses of sensation.
The project further manifests in an immersive video installation combining ASMR sounds, video and fragrance to allow a deep dive into water‘s quality of fluidity in a post-gendered environment.
