Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders
Flutter of Butterflies Beyond Borders
When no one is in the Butterfly House space, it is completely dark and nothing exists. When people enter the Butterfly House space, butterflies emerge from their bodies, and flutter from their feet to the floor. If people touch the butterflies they scatter.
The butterflies fly into the displays or out of the space, transcend the boundaries of other works, and fly
into the other artworks. Then, when they enter another space they continue as a new artwork. The butterflies fly seamlessly between other works, blurring the boundaries between them.
In the Borderless World, the butterflies are all created solely by the presence of people in the Butterfly House. If the number of butterflies that die when people touch them is more than the number people create, this artwork will cease to exist.
When this artwork disappears, butterflies no longer enter the other spaces, and the artworks of butterflies in each space will no longer appear.
