On the Entanglement of Topology and Perception

The project “O – On the Entanglement of Topology and Perception” is a self-experiment in which I want to evaluate how much of our surrounding is shaped by the emphasize we put on specific objects. The object of my choosing is not of fixed shape but rather an idea brought to us by the creativeness of mathematic’s topology. The torus becomes the object of my desire. A torus can be any item that has exactly one hole going through some part of it.

This thesis is a very metaphorical work with an emphasize on looking at the world searching for same-ness rather than looking through an individualistic lens. For months I have been collecting tori that I have found lying around on the ground and in the exhibition, I am going to invite the audience to partake in my collection to gather a sense of equivalence through the way of the torus.
