Alone with Everybody is a multi-disciplinary installation that blends objects, film, and sound to explore contemporary themes like relationships, identity, community, gender, and materialism. Miniature, uninhabited households invite observers to closely examine domestic items as personal extensions, unveiling emotional imprints and memories. The soundscape seamlessly connects public and private spheres, while short films depict surreal scenes of a stranger's daily life at home.
Suspended by slender threads, these floating microcosms visually symbolize life's intricate balance. Observing familiar elements on a small scale imparts logic to larger complexities and encourages the reinvention of narratives. Alone with Everybody urges us to transcend the ordinary, offering a profound exploration of the human experience through introspection and imagination.
