Beam Team: Portal
light-sound installation
Match Gallery

The new project of the authorial group Beam Team is based on synchronized modulation of light and sound, which, when passing through the space, where the gazes of two viewers meet, enables a peculiar sensory experience that plays with the viewer’s perception. The central element of the installation is a spacial scenery, a tunnel of some sort, through which two viewers look upon each other at each end, and in which there are several plates with spherical openings, between which the play of light takes place, emphasized by the use of some special effects. The portal tries to deny the rigid linearity of time and space, instead introducing the moment of cyclicity – ontologically speaking, the reality of space thus turns into a fluid polygon of infinity, timelessness and wholesomeness, which shakes the viewer’s experience of living and perceiving the world.
