EACH INDIVIDUAL'S BORDERLESS UNIVERSE
INTEGRATING THE MOST PRIMITIVE FORM OF 'HOME' AND EMERGING TECHNOLOGY TO SUGGEST A NEW PERCEPTION OF 'HOME'.

“Each Individual’s Borderless Universe” is a one-person virtual reality installation that explores the visceral and intangible definition of home. Home, defined in a traditional sense, is “one’s place of residence, a familiar or usual setting or a place of origin,” which carries an overtone of belonging to, or being associated with, a fixed place. But we cannot represent the complexity of ourselves by a captured moment in a single frame, and so our home cannot be defined only as a specific place. Home should not be understood as a static or physical structure defined by location but rather as a collective of experiences and memories of places embedded in each person’s borderless perceptual space. A virtual journey displaces reality by interchanging live and recorded footage of places the artist feels strong attachment to, suggesting a new perception of home.
