A short video by Stella Saarts for Kai Art Center with a short interview by Anne Katrine Senstad on her installation the Sensory Chamber as part of the solo exhibition Radical Light at Kai Art Center.
Eternity
- Arthur Rimbaud, 1872
It has been found again.
What? – Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun
Sentinel soul,
Let us whisper the confession
Of the night full of nothingness
And the day on fire.
From humain approbation,
From common urges
You diverge here
And fly off as you may.
Since from you alone,
Satiny embers,
Duty breathes
Without anyone saying: at last.
Here is no hope,
No orietur.
Knowledge and fortitude,
Torture is certain.
It has been found again.
What? – Eternity.
It is the sea fled away
With the sun.
The Sensory Chamber installation contains a video projection of the video work Beckoned to Blue in seven colors onto a bed of salt and sound composed for the installation in dialogue with the spatial light environment and neon sculpture installation Elements IV that constitutes Senstad's solo exhibition Radical Light at Kai Art Center in Tallinn, Estonia. The colors travel through red, blue, green, white, black, pink and teal and go through mesmerizing monochrome glitched and sparkled spaces into compositions of expanding lines and circles reflecting our inner space confined in our bodies and minds, yet echoes the infinite vastness of space, the universe, time, awareness of self, our emotive and cognitive system. While the video is projected onto a bed of salt, a component found in almost all things known, an element of the human constitution and represents the solidity of the earth and ocean, a grounding element - the whiteness of the salt reflects the projected colors while offering a materiality. The composition created especially for Radical Light is by acclaimed composer JG Thirlwell and accompanies all spaces of the large scale installations in the former submarine factory built by the last Tsar of the Russian Empire in 1911, enveloping the visitor in a sound space reflecting the infinity of light, elements of electricity and nobility of neon gasses.
