Dream of Fetus
Medium: Thermochromic
Year: 2025
Dream of Fetus begins with my DNA raw data, which I translate into poetry. These texts are embedded in thermosensitive material that responds to body heat. The work imagines the boundary as a layered membrane—where data, language, and surface overlap—revealing only fragments at a time, like the partial perception of a fetus within the womb.
As visitors interact within the space their body heat further activates the surface, leaving behind temporary traces of contact and fleeting connections imprinted on the boundary. Only partial information is visible through these encounters; a constraint that mirrors the condition of the fetus inside the womb.
Performance
Duration: 5 minute
Time: May 8, 2025
Through a performance-based process, I engage my own body as a tool for creating non-permanent traces and ephemeral marks on the surface to reveal colors, texts, and images that appear momentarily. The trace of heat serves as a record of this moment of recognition, illustrating the boundary as a transitory site that can function as both a point of connection and a site of separation.
