1/137, the secret code of the universe, is considered by physicists as the key to understanding the fundamental forces of the universe. It is seen as a wondrous constant in nature, like a hidden key that unlocks the doors to multiple realities, bridging the known with the unseen parallel realms.
Beyond our perception of time and space, could there be countless worlds that exist just out of reach? These parallel realms, untouched and unobserved, might be reflecting different forms of the self—echoes of existence unfolding in alternate dimensions.
1/137 is an interactive installation that explores the self and its reflections across multiple realities. 1 structure, 3 tiers, and 7 realms. The structure is designed and built based on the time-space coordinates, horizontal as space, and vertical as time. Through six distinct spatial windows, viewers are invited to peer into six parallel worlds, each suspended along a vertical time axis, existing independently yet interconnected—like possibilities entangled in quantum superposition.
Each screen is a microcosm of a parallel world: some ripple slowly through time, others are frozen in eternal moments; some are covered in boundless growth, while others undergo constant decay and reconstruction. Viewers become activators of these realities—briefly peek into forms of existence on the other side.
At this moment, the real world serves as the main axis, silently concealed within this parallel performance. Though invisible, its presence is felt—just as we cannot see those parallel spaces but never deny their possibility.
