Sewn identity
date. 2023
city. Ulaanbaatar
Interactive installation
The probability of being born as a human is one in 40 trillion. Almost zero. But how fragile is this precious thing called life? Whether it is human life or human spirit, it is very fragile. Just like paper and this plaster sculpture that is going to crack soon. What if we sew our own history and identily every day with our own lives? Some of them could not be chosen, others could be chosen and might be changed... Trying to weave many parts of yourself that you haven't figured out. Audience will participate in the sewing process, write their identity on a piece of paper and hang it in the chain.
Love³
date. 2022
city. Ulaanbaatar
Interactive installation
Where does the love story of LGBTIQ+ people and individuals with disability take place?
In boxes in which they forced us in. Even we, ourselves, come to believe that we belong there.
Love is not a cell. Not an imprisoned life inside iron bars. Don’t put your loved one into a box and confine them.
Couples will contribute to this piece -
“Eternalize” your love with a lock and throw the key to the river.
A sacred church
date. 2017
co-created with Oyuna, an artist
city. Ulaanbaatar
Interactive installation
A sacred church aimed to create a space to discuss 'conversion therapy'. For most Mongolians, including queer community 'conversion therapy' is not common knowledge. Since the concept is known from Christianity, it seems like a foreign culture. However, in our society 'conversion therapy' lives in many other forms, including other religious beliefs.
Oyuna and Kenna created a small room symbolizing a church. When the audience comes into the church, they will be introduced to the colorful world of queer individuals. They used their own diary and sketches to make a more realistic space of a queer teenager.
