concoction of desire
Business Overview
Based on the premise that "desires are formed by external factors," we developed a performative installation entitled "The Compounding of Desire," which unravels and recompounds "desires" through space, body, taste, and vision, which are woven by soundness, aesthetic sense, sexual roles, and gaze defined by society and others. Against the background of queer culture, it visualizes desires as "deviations" that do not fit into existing values. The venue consists of a bar/club/development layer and is designed as a "concoction". The exhibit consisted of bar sets, transparent resin clothing, humanoid mirror balls, drinkable “undiluted desire, ” translucent curtains, and performances. In the performance, the undiluted solution was transferred from the bottle to the glass, floor, object, and body, and the cycle of “mixing ” and“ deviation ” was started by repeating the actions of drinking, sucking, licking, and dipping.
