This installation object prompts participants to contemplate the fragility of communication and human connection in the face of the Catastrophe. It's a collection of decay, relics from a lost era, tangled wires, vinyls, adorned with symbols reminiscent of a bygone civilisation. At its core lies a mysterious time capsule, a vessel of fading messages left by the wanderers that sought comfort inside our shelter.
Materials for the installation

This installation is not following a particular design or shapes, it is loose and improvisatory, as the apocalypse found us, so not at all ready. It is made with recycling and second-hand materials (ex. tape, wire, earphones, DVD, microphone…etc.).There are different contents of notes on this hybrid creatures which related to apocalypse theme of the Special Issue 22. Audience could read those paper notes and take away if they resonate with the story. Also, if they want to leave a message it's available to write a text and put on the installation as well :) The main colors would be black, grey and neo-green/yellow, similar to the tone of Worm’s website. Hanging on the ceiling if possible.
