Bodiject-oriented is a media installation designed to give viewers an experience of “bodiject” (body as object). In this work, a single double-sided mirror vertically divides a flat display into two left and right planes; the body-image plane and the object-image plane. Some deformed fingers are shown from the body-image plane and some vegetable sticks are shown from the object-image plane, where they are continuously operated by someone’s hands in a loosely synchronized manner. This kind of parallel observation enables viewers to detach ownership from their physical body.
