NOHLAB: Journey, 2019
12-channel immersive video projection, 4 mins
Journey is an immersive experience telling the story of photons, primary elements of light, from the moment they approach the eye until the brain reconstructs them into perceivable forms. The projection begins with the formation of photons in blank space, then the coloured photons soon approach the eye and we find ourselves in the capillary structure of the iris, the first layer of the eye. The next stop for the light particles is the lens, which has a more crystalline form, and  here we can enjoy a refractive and fractalised environment.
At an accelerating pace we are moving towards the optic nerves, which eventually transmit the light particles towards the neurons. Photons are now signals, transmitted to the brain by their neuron guides. When they reach the sensory mechanism in the brain, light finally begins to generate explicit forms and perceptible images.
