About this exposition

How to Make Someone Important is a performative video piece centred around the Importance Booster Medal, created for the Tactilite exhibition at Hobusepea Gallery in 2021. The work delves into pseudomagic through symbolic rituals and sensory interactions. Seraphita intentionally trivialises the act of recognition: a person’s sense of importance is heightened when presented with a medal of merit. Employing Haptic Visuality, this multisensory approach weaves together emotional resonance and speculative ritual, reimagining connection within a pseudomagical framework.
