BETWEEN LIGHT, SOUND AND SPACE

— CONTEXT —

Light has always fascinated scientists, philosophers, religious thinkers and artists. How does it affect our emotions and sensations?

"Licht, mehr Licht!" or "Light, more light!" are the last words spoken by Goethe, a novelist who was also fascinated by the optical sciences. This mysterious incident is reminiscent of near death experiences - tunnels of light, also known as tunnels of death. Guillaume Marmin drew inspiration from this theme to create an immersive installation that explores the links between light, sound and space.

— INSTALLATION —

The minimalist work “Licht, Mehr Licht !” is an immersive installation that explores the links between light, sound and space. The artist’s aim is to explore the effects of light on our sensations.

This project was an opportunity to renew our ties with the composer Philippe Gordiani, who worked on Timée at Stereolux, and the pianist Eve Risser (White Desert Orchestra and Donkey Monkey) to create a hypnotic and captivating universe where chaos and harmony struggle for mastery.

A TETRO+A, Arcadi /Biennale NEMO, Puzzle, Stéréolux and Yam co-production, "Licht, Mehr Licht! by Guillaume Marmin was presented for the first time at the Scopitone festival in Nantes from 20 to 24 September 2017, before being shown at the NEMO Biennale in Paris between 9 December 2017 and 4 March 2018.
