Sound and light share many physical qualities, as frequencies they are embedded in the interplay of time and space. In their rhythms, cycles and oscillations acoustical and optical phenomena are shaped. In their artistic concepts Atsara refer to the poetic qualities of the processes of constant transformation as the foundation of all audio and visual phenomena.

NARRACJE 2011 Work: [M]ondes

In relation to the chosen site Audrey Rocher and Roland Devocelle develop and implement a structure with a reflective surface as their projection grounds. Unlike a projection screen that shows a complete image, the intervention explores the interaction of reflected and non-reflected light as well as of the interplay of static surroundings and moving images. They stage the interface of darkness and light, of space and surface, of color and material in a continuous metamorphosis rendering visible the beauty of physical processes.

NARRACJE 2011 Location: Fabryka Karabinów, ul. Łąkowa 35/38, (the most remote yard)
