Graz Castle was given a new look as part of KLANGLICHT 2019: magical, hypnotic light and sound projections by the artist collective OchoReSotto made their way into the castle – with polarized light that is actually invisible to the human eye… and yet can be experienced: the light is refracted, reflected, polarized – and the human eye is hypnotized. The projection at Graz Castle dealt with the theme of the polarization of light: the projection surface on the façade was additionally extended by pools of water on the floor of the inner courtyard. The reflection of the projection on the water could be understood as a kind of polarized light and made it possible to view the surroundings from completely new angles. The projection was accompanied by a soundscape of field recordings and two-dimensional, supporting elements specially composed by Mario Zangl and Wolfgang Möstl.
