WHAT'S ILLUMINATED?
Current EXHIBITION
"SILENCE" by RAFAËL ROZENDAAL
“Silence” is a digital artwork consisting of three ambient moving images. The works are almost abstract, but a suggestion of space and movement hints at experiences of landscapes and travel. With minimal elements of colour and rhythm, a maximal experience is created of immersion and contemplation
