MASS: THE WEIGHT OF PERCEIVING

In a space defined by muscle, grit, and gravity, Mass: the Weight of Perceiving invites a quiet disruption. This site-specific installation by Ching Kai explores how we form judgments about weight, strength, and materiality — not just through what we see, but through the beliefs and conditioning that shape how we perceive.

Large paper structures, mounted on walls or suspended overhead, resemble objects of substantial mass. Their scale and visual tension may suggest heaviness, instability, or even risk. And yet, these forms are made of paper: light, precise, and deliberate.

Set within a functioning gym — a space where physical resilience is trained and tested — this installation becomes a mirror to the internal narratives many of us carry: the unseen weight of expectation, the illusion of control, the pressure to hold form.

Mass: the Weight of Perceiving speaks not only to physical weight, but to the collective process of perceiving — how we decide what is solid, what is fragile, and what deserves to be held up.
