Kimchi and Chips / Mimi Son (KR), Elliot Woods (UK)

In a field of fog and sound, Light Barrier generates animated, magical, spatial images in the air. These are created by hundreds of light rays refracted by mirrors. The six-minute sequence is a journey through the cycle of birth, death and rebirth, and the human idea of space and time.

The installation consists of a total of eight video projectors, which are subdivided into 630 sub-projections using 288 concave mirrors, and of forty audio channels that create a field of sound. In this third edition of the project, Kimchi and Chips again deal with the boundary between materiality and immateriality, reality and illusion, existence and non-existence.

With the title they refer to Albert Einstein’s special theory of relativity (in which space is not yet bent by matter, and superluminal velocity does not yet appear, as in the general theory of relativity formulated later).
