Chamber's Ring

Chambers’ Ring explores the history, spectacle and materiality of boxing.

Through the lens of media archaeology and process art, the work analyzes the rhythmic active body, how its perception is influenced via the mediation of technology, as well as the rules and formalized structures of game.
