Stop-motion origami unfurls in a playful exploration of how senses overlap

In The Spirit Triangles (2018), a single equilateral triangle emerges and duplicates, giving the appearance of origami unfurling. From this simple starting point, these building blocks move, scatter, reorganise and change colour in a dazzling display, seemingly in coordination with the accompanying score of strings, woodwinds, percussion and ambient beeps. Through this construction, the Taiwanese visual artist Shih-Yen Huang builds a ‘synaesthesia of vision and sound’ in the viewer. The resulting work forms both a riveting audiovisual experience and a fascinating glimpse into how senses overlap, interact and create the illusion of connection.
