Maneki Neko x Mise-en-abyme

The temporary installation for the W/ Project Space in Chinatown is the continuation in a series of projects that explore the translation of a legible figure into a continuous visual field. From the street, the installation appears as a glowing, enigmatic box, its contents and purpose unknown. Once inside all reference to the boundaries of the gallery are obscured by a five-sided figure made of rigid building insulation. The cave-like space is a result of blending four shapes into a topological environment. The walls of the gallery are lined with mirror to transform the spatial figure into a field of reflections. All material used in the installation will be recycled in the construction of an artist residence in New Jersey designed by LEONG LEONG.
