Geocentricism
2008 / heart beat sensor, gfp, iron,audio equipment / 2.5×3.5×1.8 m
The red sphere is a planet as well as your own self.
When you enter the planet, you will be surrounded by a number of stars.
Then, your heartbeat will shake the planet, which leads to the floor, the ceiling, and the wall of the gallery, and to the building itself.
Everything that exists in this universe does exist to me only because I exist in the universe.
I think; therefore, I am. That is Geocentricism.
There are thousands of holes made on the surface of the red, FRP-made sphere. Inside the sphere, you will be surrounded entirely with the bright lights coming through the tiny holes.
You might feel as if you were floating in space.Behind the white chair in the middle,
there is 400W speaker placed. When someone sits on the chair and attaches clips of PCG to his/her ears,the rhythm of his/her heartbeat comes out from the giant speaker, and echoes in the heavy, low pitch, inside of the sphere and the entire gallery.
