Blue Shrine - Interactive Installation

The “Blue Shrine” is an installation of modernized rituals that aim to guide you to positive thinking. Viewers are worshipping the color blue along with its molecule. Blue is a very cleansing and calming color that absorbs negative energy, and by praying to a molecule we connect with our own intertwined existence between our microcosm and macrocosm. This non-religious shrine also includes science as part of its positive energy chan- neling, something that most religions do not acknowledge as a relevant part of their practice.

Interaction Instructions:

1. Do all or one of the interactive options below
2. Pray to the blue molecule to absorb all of your negative energy away.
3. Select three candles and place them on the red shelf with the blue square * Light candle and concentrate on the wishes * Blow the candles out * Return candles to its original place.
4. Take a shot of blue distilled water & a dash of Kosher salt.

"Eating Half" performance

In this performance viewers are asked to write down a weakness they want to see gone in themselves. In the next step they place the small piece of paper with their weakness on the hands of a fear eating machine in order to be consumed.
This performance is about the fact that half of the work to getting over weakness, fears and phobias is in the acknowledgment of the problem. The interactive performance asks audience to look at themselves and pin-point their weakness. The eating of the weakness is a symbolic gesture because in real life those elements will eat you from the inside. In the “Eating Half” performance roles are reversed and once a viewers recognize their weakness it will be eaten instead of eating them.

Interaction Instructions

1. Pick up small clipboard and pen.

2. Write a phobia, fear and/or anxiety that you have recognized in yourself but that you have not began to work on.

3. Fold note and put in the basket.

During a performance at the opening date the reflective monster comes alive and eats all the phobias, fears and/or anxieties.
