"AGONIA" is an immersive art installation that relies solely on physical and environmental elements to create a captivating experience. The artwork is set within an enclosed space where the temperature is artificially elevated through environmental heaters, generating a sense of oppressive heat and physical discomfort.
At the center of the installation hangs a suspended clock, crafted from metal and equipped with a customized mechanism that slows down the movement of its hands. This mechanical effect creates a distorted perception of time, emphasizing the themes of stagnation and inertia.
The stifling atmosphere is achieved through precise control of the room's temperature and humidity, without the use of sound or audio effects. The installation solely employs visual and physical stimuli to provoke an emotional response from the viewer.
Materials used:
- Metal and custom mechanisms for the clock
- Environmental heaters for temperature control
- Soft lighting to enhance the oppressive ambiance
The artwork transforms the space into a pure sensory experience, utilizing heat and visual slowness to evoke a profound sense of discomfort and reflection on time and society.
