Martin Bricelj Baraga: Wave
sound-light installation
Mitnica Gallery, Snežiška Street

The project entitled Wave is one of the audiovisual installations with which Baraga explores the theme of four primal elements (water, air, earth, fire) in recent years. The work in question belongs to the domain of water: it is an in-depth visual meditation on the importance of the sea, both at the level of the individual and their longings, as well as in the context of ecology or the importance of the sea for life on Earth. The wave caught in a pavilion, which viewers perceive as a lighting-sound signal, fluctuates in its intensity and simulates sensory magic of the real sea with the help of modular structure of test tubes, which has an intimate and contemplative effect.
