i am
2026
Multi-channel video and sound installation, Performance
The work is currently under development at Saari Residence, Kone Foundation (Jan–Feb 2026), and B28 Residence, Nordic Culture Point (March 2026), Finland.



The artist’s body functions as a lighthouse, encoding the phrase “i am” into rotating light and voice through Morse-based rhythms across an island landscape.





The work is composed of six horizontally suspended projection screens arranged around the exhibition space. Each screen presents the artist’s body acting as a “lighthouse” at a different location on the island, recorded at the same moment of dusk on various dates on island landscapes. As the installation unfolds, the number of active lighthouses gradually increases, culminating in a final section in which all six are present simultaneously.

In each channel, the artist slowly rotates while chanting a repetitive syllable and projecting light through a Fresnel lighthouse lens. The body and the voice function as signal carriers, sustaining minimal and repetitive actions over time. The vocal performances are recorded live and follow rhythmic patterns translated from lighthouse signaling. Both sound and light are encoded using the Morse code translation (.. / .- --) of the phrase “i am” , transforming language into duration, interval, and repetition.

As the installation progresses, individual channels fall silent or dark according to their durations. In the final phase, all remaining channels align, forming a dense convergence of rotating light and layered polyphonic human voice.
