Prometheus Unbound, 2021
VR sculpture
variable dimensions, 23 min
Edition of 5 plus 2 artist's proofs
Human avatars, their bodies, whispers, dreams, and nightmares fill the virtual space that visitors of the Incubation Pod can explore with VR glasses. Only a few fragments of the ancient tragedy ‘Prometheus Unbound’ have survived. Whether Prometheus is reconciled with Zeus, whether and how he is eventually freed, remains uncertain. In Part Two of his Prometheus Trilogy, artist Meiro Koizumi reconceives these ancient fragments into an interactive performance for the pandemic present. We hear the voices of young migrant workers who were stuck in Japan during the Covid19 pandemic, trapped in the unknown. It is these present-day human paradoxes that ‘Prometheus Unbound’ enables us to experience as an “unfettered dream” in virtual and physical space. “Prometheus Unbound” is part of the curated art program “Incubation Pod. Dreaming worlds” at the Museum Angewandte Kunst, which gathers different artistic ideas, spaces and worlds in the form of interactive installations, virtual realities and performances
