BROCKEN 5.6

Inspired by the mysterious natural phenomenon of the Brocken spectrum, Yasuhiro Chida created the interactive installation Brocken 5.6: rays of light penetrate the dark space through thousands of holes, creating the illusion that the light follows the people. Chida’s works deal with the sensory perception of our environment, changes in it and our reaction to them. Together with Ólafur Eliasson and James Turrell, the Japanese artist was named one of the nine most remarkable digital artists in the world by Artdex in 2019.
