CONSTRUCT is a 75-day project performed during Selavy Oh's residency at Yoshikaze/HUMLAB. Selavy Oh was present every day adding one room representing one day to the installation. The resulting installation is built of 75 hollow cubes, most of them reacting in various ways to the presence of visitors. It can be conceived as collection of dynamic time capsules; a spatial blog or diary that transforms time to space and thus breaks up the inevitable causality of its development by folding it to a multidimensional ensemble and allowing for novel relations between its constituents. The single days continuously exchange their positions, resulting in an ever-changing labyrinth of cubes - some days even becoming inaccessible - which allows the visitor to discover new connections and associations that go beyond formal or semantic similarity.
