"It is mostly at night that the highest fear of crime occurs. Although all of the senses provide information about the environment, it is through vision that the majority of information is acquired and processed by the brain. Vision, therefore, has a tremendous impact on the decision making process."
(from the Guideline on Security Lighting for People, Property, and Public Spaces, 2003)
As a part of Transmediale Vorspiel, visual artist Alona Rodeh will present a new time-based piece, embedded in the architecture of Vesselroom Project space.
In the last two and a half years, under the meta-title "Safe and Sound", Rodeh has been pursuing the visual and sonar expressions of safety in the city. For her solo show at Vesselroom Project, the emphasize will be placed on the presence of light and its physical effect on one's eyesight and body. A LED illumination system specially conceived and developed for the occasion, together with a series of lit photographs will perform a chase of lights in a silent performance of rhythm.
