MELIS RAGUSIN · 2026
A body gathers from a living field of coloured dust. As the visitor begins painting with their hands, the figure softens into a faint presence within the image. Each movement reshapes what comes next.
Enable your camera and allow access. Your figure appears first. Approach and move your hands deliberately to begin painting; your shape softens into a faint dust shade. Pull to move the colour, circle one hand to stir, spread both hands to stretch, or turn them together to rotate the canvas. A sharp opening of your fingers or a flick of your wrist scatters particles; stronger splashes spread further. Step back and pause to let your figure return. When you leave, the living field continues.
Face a soft light and keep your head and hands within the camera view. Under Camera settings, check your framing or choose another camera. You can turn the camera off at any time.
The Space Between Moments brings together Becoming on the left, the live human presence of Becoming You in the centre, and Fragments on the right. The two films and the interactive work form one presentation for Art Miami 2026. Select View closer beneath any work to enlarge it. The centre work keeps its camera controls available in the closer view.
This browser adaptation lets you experience the interaction remotely. The gallery room is an imagined exhibition setting; the dust inside the framed display is live. The original artwork is a TouchDesigner installation for a portrait screen or projection.
This page does not record, save or transmit your camera image. No microphone is requested. Camera access ends when you turn it off, leave the page, or hide this tab. You can also explore the dust using a mouse or touch.
