HAPPINESS 205 s an architecture of cheap, drug-induced happiness in a setup where the human performer and the performing matter compete for—or share—the performative role. The installation consists of canned dime-store cotton candy in pastel colors and large quantities: 205 cans. When exposed to oxygen, the cotton candy visibly shrinks over time. Through irregular performative interventions, the lids of more and more cans are gradually opened, causing the matter to perform: the cotton candy retracts and shrinks to a miniature version of the transparent plastic can's shape. The human performer responds to the matter's own performative interventions, rearranging the cans in the space and creating an ever-changing landscape of cotton candy and plastic. This process results in a continuous handover of agency between the performer and the matter—almost a dialogue.
