Bodywaves by Nobuho Nagasawa
Bodywaves is part of a chair installation together with a glass table and the artists umbilical cord in a petri dish and some gray hairs. The installation connects past and present for the artist. A rocking chair covered in optical fabric channels our dependence on water. A recorded video of ocean waves plays upon a chair that senses human heat once it is sat upon and glows brighter with the interaction.
