Absorption
Absorption places the beholder within conflicting streams of experience, working with sound, light and architecture, exploring the connections between perception, self-awareness and the world.
The artists' work plays with the state which occurs when the audience becomes absorbed in seeing and hearing objects in space. Previously explored by artists such as Minimalists and Post-minimalists, often in relation to phenomenology, this state has been described as ego-less. If self-identity recedes behind a changed connection with physical reality, what philosophical and psychological questions arise?
