Welcoming AAA* Studio to our Asian Heritage Week Naarm/Melbourne line up. Within the gallery, they will present ‘A* Soft Gate’, an installation that we will light up on our opening night so you can watch it evolve over time.

A* Soft Gate explores what happens when rigid systems designed to contain human behaviour are infiltrated by soft, unstable matter.

At the centre of the installation is a cast-iron gate — a structure historically associated with control, separation, and access. It defines boundaries: inside and outside, permitted and denied, private and public. In this work, the gate is enveloped in layers of wax — a material that records accumulation, delay, and touch.

When ignited, the wax begins to melt, drip, and burn. The structure no longer performs as a stable boundary. Instead, it leaks.

The work proposes emotion not as something immediate or expressive, but as something stored. It accumulates over time, held within systems that attempt to contain it. Under heat, pressure, time, or proximity—it is released.

𖦞.─── ·₊˚ ˖♡۫𓏼˚̣̣̣⟡ৎ ───˖𖦞.

A.A.A Studio operates as an open system where authorship is dispersed and meaning remains unstable.

Through participatory works and public encounters, we explore emotional exchange in everyday contexts — where language, materials, and actions become tools for connection.
Our work creates temporary situations where intimacy emerges without identity, obligation, or permanence.
