Trout's Tale

In this work, I combine ceramics, paintings, and wooden objects as props to document the practice of trout fishing. But how should I go about it? My uncle, a passionate angler, once told me, “It’s all about the bait and a strong fishing line.” Yet, I found myself wondering—what use are those without the right hook?

Drawing from my uncle’s expertise and my own artistic sensibilities, I set out to create an installation that would captivate the audience through a dynamic interplay of diverse media, scale, and vivid colors—all carefully chosen to function as an irresistible lure. Every element was designed to provoke curiosity, inviting viewers to engage with the space in unexpected ways.

However, the very nature of the setup disrupted the usual flow of movement. A line stretched across the room, subtly altering the audience’s physical experience as they navigated the space. As people moved through, many became entangled, caught in its path much like an unsuspecting trout ensnared in a fishing net.
