Day 195 @ ITP: Recurring Concepts in Art

Source: Mirror Lights – Camilla & Jina

Mirror Lights is a two-person performance using light and acoustic sound to create a virtual reality experience.

DESCRIPTION

One person enters a darkened room, sits on a chair and shines a light at a screen suspended in front of them.

A second person shines a light from the other side of the screen, following the first person’s light’s movements, thereby creating the illusion that the first light is guiding the movements of the second.

The first person’s light is attached to a chandelier of bells above their head, which causes it to chime with their movements, creating the soundtrack for the performance.
