Trap. A Representation of ‘living’.

As part of Research PhD, University of Aberdeen.

Trap, 2019.

Material: Plaster, violet dye, resin, glass, flies, speaker.

Trap displays non-visible references to the behaviours and qualities related to ‘living’. Perceptions of movement, communication and living agency are stimulated through the buzzing sounds of the restless tsetse fly.

The subject of the artwork is informed by research at the lab of Prof. Michael A. J Ferguson, the School of Life Sciences, University of Dundee.

Made in co-operation with researcher Zhe Ji.
