Chora

With her project Chora, artist Gaia Radić opens a new chapter in the body of virtual worlds that perform as perceptual narratives. Emerging from an undifferentiated possibility, they materialise in contact with physical spaces and are enacted through the bodies that pass through them.

In the installation, the viewer becomes a host for the narrative developing in the virtual space. As an autonomous agent, the work bends the exhibition space, encapsulating the viewer at once inside and outside of its expanse in a timeless vacuum. The viewer’s perceptual organs are used as a channel for the space to look back on itself and take its form. As soon as self-formulation begins, eventual decay follows. The process again and again concludes in transformation, as the portal closes and reopens with the arrival of a new body.
