"Almost Rebirth" is an interactive installation that refers to the intermediate life stage in a person'e life right before "rebirth". More precisely, it talks about the life stage that occurs after a self destructive episode and before the eventual the reconstruction of a person's identity. The artwork consists of two parts, the "physical" part of the installation and the interactive system. The "physical" part is a 3D collage that consists of reconstructed literary phrases. The interractive system consists of a soundscape based on the aforementioned phrases that begin to play as the viwer comes closer. In essence, "Almost Rebirth" is a chimairic entity that embodies a situation "in limbo", trapped between two life stages, uncertain as to where it will lead, animated in an effort to communicate with the passers-by.
