TRANSPORTER 31500

INSTALLATION_2020

Transporter focuses on objects after being regarded as worthless and disused but having the possibility to reincarnate and take new identities through human interventions. The exhibition space is metaphorically seen as a hospital where sick vehicles are admitted,  diagnosed,  and are treated (repaired). Such a live saving space was later abandoned together with some dead vehicles. 

Transporter(31500) inquires into the relations of dead vehicles after going through artistic interventions such as wrapping and creating proxies for damaged parts with dirty coloured fabrics to unmute the vehicles and give them new forms of identity. The installation generates an environment that allows the audience to question what they think or know and rethink about identity, materiality, object reincarnation, and memory. It also peels back our understanding of the fact that objects have their own narrative which places crucial importance on the precise material which they are made; their historic and social reason of being, and also have the ability to reincarnate when dead. Stage-like scenery activities are composed ironically, displaying the everyday functions of the vehicles and creating their own narrative of the space through moving sculptures, sound, and light installation, which allow the audience to interact with the works through their senses.
