EMPATHY EXPANSE II

ART // ALL WORKS

Empathy Expanse II, Michelle Xen, 2018, dichroic acrylic installation. Exhibited as part of Real Talk, curated by Sebastian Moody.

Empathy Expanse II was commissioned by the public art exhibition Real Talk, curated by Sebastian Moody.

Featuring two installations both with a suspended group of transparent dichroic texts: “EMPATHY” and “EXPANSE”. The work is both transparent and reflective as it appears and disappears like a kaleidoscopic mirage as pedestrians move past.

Utilising transparency, all the layers of the work are visible at all times; creating a kind of iridescent analog feedback of the site and the traffic moving through it.
