The Last 5’18” is a site-specific installation constituted by a hologram video, an audio composition, and a metal sculpture with fibre optics, which is a conjecture about a special time “walking” at the last moment in one’s life.

​

The concept of this work is inspired by the guess about a personally, subjectively aware of time passing especially during the spacial time such as dying moment. What's more, "Being-Towards-Death" (Martin Heidegger) points out death is not an orientation that brings Dasein closer to its end, in terms of clinical death, but is rather a way of being.

​

The displayed environment, a coffin burial site is also the important reference in this work. The central corridor in the Crypt Gallery has stacks of headstones on both sides. Headstones look like a moment which freezes one person’s whole life, and the moment could interpret the last few minutes on one’s deathbed. Time-Walking during the last moment, headstones, resting place of souls are the core ideas of this artwork.
