ECHOES OF LIGHT

Our identity is like a mirror image, consisting of individual parts and constantly changing through relationships and interaction: this is the theme of the installation ‘Echoes of Light’ in Graz’s Stadtpfarrkirche. In several phases, the audience experiences a journey between fragmentation and connection. Individual reflections move through the space, their flow corresponding to the fluid nature of our own existence. Then, for just a few moments, the reflections align with each other, interact with each other, merge and suddenly no longer appear distorted, but clear and distinct.

Together with sound artist Shinji Wakasa, the Spanish artist collective Onionlab worked with inclined mirrors and interactive technologies for this project. Sensors capture not only the movements of the audience, but also their emotions, translating them in real time into an artistic landscape of light and sound. Both the physical and emotional presence of those present leaves a visual and acoustic trace that contributes to the overall experience.
