Rather than observing this inertia from a distance, the installation creates a visceral topology of anxiety. By synchronizing cinematic narrative with physical sensory triggers, the work compels viewers to experience the physiological symptoms of stress, systemic confinement, and the freezing response triggered by trauma.
At the experiential core is a custom aluminum chair with an Arduinocontrolled heating system. When a viewer sits, internal thermal pads quietly activate, raising the seat temperature. This artificial warming replicates the body’s natural temperature increase under acute psychological stress. By imposing this response on the viewer, the installation ensures they do not merely watch the protagonist’s anxiety but embody a parallel state of hyper vigilance and paralysis.
