Dream of
Salmon

Year 2025
Type Live Media Performance · Facade
Venue Encore Institute, Ohio
Role Media Art · Visuals

As luminous, hand-shaped fish drift through darkness, they gather, disperse, and dissolve — echoing the dreamlike migration of memory, loss, and rebirth beneath the surface of perception.

Dream of Salmon is a live media performance projected as an architectural media facade. The work explores the cyclical nature of life and death through the metaphor of salmon — creatures whose journey mirrors the human struggle against time, loss, and return.

By merging real-time performance with generative visuals, the piece immerses viewers in a moving ritual of transformation. The dancer's body and the projected imagery breathe together — neither fully separate, neither fully one.
