Photon
Bells are a sonic and visual sculpture. The authors used
metal tubes, hung in a circle, as resonators. In the middle,
wooden boards are hung, which swing in the wind,
creating sound when they hit the tubes. Parts of this
sonic device project their movement onto their
surroundings with shadows. The Photon Bells
are also capable of functioning as a musical
instrument, as they enable passers-by to create a new
creation of light and sound.
