Light High @ Center for International Light Art

The installation LIGHT HIGH is aimed at guiding the perception through targeted acoustic and visual phenomena into border areas in which ambivalent experiences set in and the habitual experience of space is abolished. The starting point was the idea of a space that creates the feeling of endless falling. A mirrored ceiling together with a thin reflecting surface of water on the ground and a gridarrangement of lights are creating the spatial illusion of an infinite vertical space of light and darkness. By traversing a small bridge, the visitor can cautiously discover the immersing endlessness beneath his/her feats and above his/her head. The extent of the infinite vertical space changes through the individual viewpoint so it can be fathomed by the viewer’s movement in the freely accessible installation.
