exhibition in public space, site-specific kinetic light installation
Lena Gätjens & Paul Pritz, Schlossbergstollen, Graz (AT), for Solaris group exhibition
kinetic, site-specific installation that reenacts the moment of discovery.
The cone of light travels through the space following a choreography that stages the careful scanning of an unknown place. The grazing light magnifies the details of the topography, projects them onto the surfaces of the room like a shadow play and frames fragments of the space. The idea of an understandable overall space fades into the background.
