Spinning Lights:
This installation resembles several symbolic features from scenes of the film Panta Rhei. The falling raindrop, the wrinkles in the water and the playful reflections of the sunlight on the surroundings are at the conceptual basis for this installation. The different phases of the cause and effect-chains we see in Panta Rhei are made visible in the set-up of the installation, and accessible for the audience to play with. For example, we can reenact the play with light, and temper with the rotating forces that are reminiscent of the wrinkles in the water. The input of the audience at a micro level will create effects that are visible on a macro level.
