Conversation Bubble

In the Conversation Bubble piece, at any given moment of time five people are needed in order for the structure to inflate. While the bodies of participants are stuck in between two layers of clear vinyl, their heads share the same air inside the inflated bubble. The duration of the piece depends on the five people’s “agreement” to end it, as no one can leave on his/her own accord. Within the discourse of fragility, the Conversation Bubble points towards a delicate relation between the object and its mode of presentation. Without people’s participation the piece “doesn’t exist” and is not easily classified to a specific category of artistic production.
