The project is a light and kinetic installation.

From the center of the installation, sensors extend symmetrically outward like rays. The installation, situated in the center of the space, allows for a circular walkthrough. When a visitor approaches one of the sensors, it begins to rotate gradually, as if responding to the visitor. The installation behaves like a timid animal, gently retracting from "danger." As soon as the person moves away or steps aside from the sensor, it gradually comes to a stop. A large number of people around the installation create a situation where the sensors move at different speeds, dynamically affecting the overall operation.

At the center of the installation, all the sensors are connected to a transparent liquid membrane made of fluids with varying densities. As the sensors rotate, they change the shape of the membrane, stretching it in different directions, which leads to a displacement of the liquid. A light fixture positioned beneath the membrane illuminates it, creating a projection that is reflected off a mirror and shines onto a wall or screen.

Work is commissionedby esc medien kunst labor. Special thanks to Kersnikova Institute (Ljubljana) for the support.
