AAAAAAAAAAH is a visceral audiovisual installation that confronts the disorienting intersections of media, memory, and perception. The work immerses viewers in a charged sensory environment where time distorts, presence fractures, and the boundaries between self and other blur.
A large projection screen dominates the space, depicting an anime girl locked in an agonizing scream—her movements so slowed down that she hovers on the edge of stillness. The accompanying sound is a stretched, distorted wail that mutates into an abstract, almost unbearable noise, flooding the room with a suffocating intensity. The space itself is arranged like an abandoned bedroom—a stripped-down mattress suggesting an absence, a lingering trace of someone who was once there.A phone glows on the bedside table, its screen scrolling through fragmented, poetic reflections on fear, imagination, and the porous borders between dreams and reality. The text recounts a recurring nightmare: an unseen presence entering the protagonist’s room, inducing a paralysis that gives way to an internal, unending scream. Yet the nightmare does not remain contained within sleep—it expands outward, questioning the way images, media, and lived experience collapse into a single, unstable reality.
The dual-channel format establishes a dialogue between the suspended scream and the textual reflections, between overwhelming sonic intensity and quiet, introspective narrative. The piece speaks to the dissolution of boundaries—between physical and virtual worlds, between personal memory and collective media-driven consciousness. It captures the unsettling sensation of forming deep emotional connections with fictional entities, of being haunted by images that exist only on screens yet feel profoundly real. AAAAAAAAAAH offers an experience that is both deeply intimate and disturbingly externalized. It confronts the viewer with a liminal psychological space where time stretches, perception fractures, and reality becomes porous. In doing so, it opens a conversation about contemporary subjectivity—about how we absorb, process, and internalize media in ways that shape our understanding of selfhood, fear, and existence itself.SCREENING LINK UPON REQUEST
