why is everything related to sex?


creating a Fellowship that could virtually exist anywhere. what the hell? i am continuing this siteless but concept-full project with surrealist cowhead imageries, addictions, and creepy religious contexts.

The idea of consumption is brought through in the project's emphasis on the human desire + sin + temptation. So to create a 'dreamscape' that transcends our idealist/puritan perceptions in reality, I will continue with my original craving booth idea that overwhelms our senses. I guess the most important thing for my installation is to 'make blood without blood'. To disturb in the most subtlest way possible...and that is why I think I can't just create an installation.

Perhaps I have to create a ritual instead, or a ceremony, or a new world that no one has seen before. To simply create a location for the 'people' is not enough; it's more interesting to create the 'location' with the masses. A Fellowship can exist anywhere you want -> as long as junk need exists, someone will service it. I have been re-reading William burrough's Naked Lunch. it is quite disturbing.

more to come!!

syncretism





Symbiosis
The living together in permanent or prolonged close association of members of usually two different species, with beneficial or deleterious consequences for at least one of the parties.

Parasitism
one member of the association benefits while the other is harmed (+ -)

An excess of homes and homeless coexist in Detroit, both abandon due to lack of infrastructure. Through a parasitic relationship between the established and desolate, a structure will be constructed to provide the unfortunate populace access to the basic needs for homeostasis.

A parasite can cling to its host for life support. With the introduction of an indescript device, the poor can begin to deplete the utilities once available only to the rich. By reprogramming typical urban apparatus into homeless shelters, the parasitic infestation can creep into the city incognito, tapping into needed supplies via office, commercial, industrial, and institutional.


Who? Recently homeless families
What? Urban camouflaged devices
Where? Parking lots, alleys, rooftops
Why? As temporary shelter to re-establish oneself
