Stained Glass Installation

Intercella

In the multimedia installation, a traditionally made, hanging stained glass panel is used as a screen for projection mapping. The detailed stained glass mixes with digital animations.
The sculpture was created in search of ways to reinterpret a craft that dates back to the Middle Ages. The associatively abstract depictions pick up on characteristics of cells, cross-sections of plant stems and fluorescent life forms, thus referring to the fascination of life as a phenomenon that is difficult to grasp.

The installation was part of the Swiss art festival Ailyos in 2020, where it hung in a cave above Leysin at an altitude of 1900m near Lac d'Aï until 2023.
