Installation view: LÁ Art Museum, Iceland 2024

The viewer enters a low-lit space, inside it a constructed object bathed in light and an allencompassing sound. We are being introduced to a transformation, to experience a whole that is in constant motion but stable and consistent. The piece activates and interacts with the space, creating a perceptual whole which evokes an awareness of the viewers’ physicality. By walking around the space and finding new viewpoints, we not only create moments but a passing that gives rise to speculations on time and rhythm. This ambiguous object before us is both accessible and deceiving, obvious and hidden. The principles of light, materiality and perception are unveiled, and at the same time they disappear into an experience of surface and image.
