"By enlarging the ephemeral kiping to an architectural scale, Dorizac allows ornament to assume monumental presence without surrendering the delicacy and playfulness from which it derives its force. What was minor begins to organise the space around it. Pattern disperses the eye, and the autonomous movement of the mobile form frustrates the demand for a single privileged point of focus. Dahan-Dahan cannot be possessed in a glance. "

DAHAN-DAHAN (TREAD LIGHTLY)

Developed through a residency in Lucban, Philippines, Jessica Dorizac transforms the Outer Space gallery with a large-scale installation.

Inspired by the Pahiyas Festival and the traditional practice of kiping-making, the work explores cultural memory, intergenerational knowledge, ritual and material culture.⁠
