Kage Kage

Kage Kage is an interactive installation about the (im)possibility of an objectivisable reality in our technologically mediated world. Shadows ('kage') prove the existence of objects, while the shadows themselves have no substance. Both nothing and essential: it is a paradox that can be applied to the images created with today s digital image technology. The installation is made up of two light round surfaces on two facing walls. On each of these surfaces you see small coloured gills with their shadows. The viewer can touch the forms, when images emerge from their shadows with apt sounds: a school of fish swimming past, a tear that falls or a plane flying over. The two surfaces are linked together digitally: you can see and hear the fish that jumps up on one fall back into the water on the other surface.
