Amygdala (2018), a space-specific intervention, was featured at “Friends of Interpretable Spaces” at St. Augustine’s Tower in London/Hackney. The Degrees of Freedom production was curated by A. Farooqui. http://www.degreesof-freedom.com/fois.html

​

Inspired by Kafka's novella "The Metamorphosis", it was specifically designed to communicate with the space around it and involve the viewer in this interaction.

​

Set in the spacial context of St. Augustine's tower, first built in the 13th century in Central Hackney, it creates a haunting ambient atmosphere. Thus it provides a scenario that invites the audience to go down anxiety lane in the protective guise of the absurd. 

​

On a meta-level, it is an invitation to the most exciting of non-physical spaces: the mind which, in essence, is the human faculty of emotion, thought, memory, and imagination. 

​

The title of the artwork references the part of the brain that plays a key role in the processing of emotions.
