Infinite Stage is a solo exhibition conceived as a dormant stage, activated twice through a 45-minute live performance. The works on view inhabit multiple states: while existing as sculptures within the exhibition space, they transform into scenery and props during the performances. Video works function as the skeletal framework of the performance timeline, shaping its rhythm, pacing, and progression.
At its core, Infinite Stage examines the relationship between death and digitality. In post-capitalist society, the denial of death is already deeply embedded within systems of consumption, preservation, and endless production. Through contemporary technology, this denial reaches a new dimension. “Ghostbots” — chatbots generated from a deceased person’s emails, photographs, memories, and digital traces — enable the living to sustain conversations with the dead, blurring the boundaries between memory, simulation, and presence.
The performance unfolds through a sequence of interconnected scenes in which live music, dance, readings, and video interactions become entangled. Rather than operating as a multidisciplinary project, Infinite Stage is driven by the accumulation and layering of media. Its aesthetic oscillates between a baroque density of forms and silent, meditative intervals, creating a sustained tension between excess and stillness.
