Teo Lanerva: Liquid line – Lux Helsinki at Malmitalo

In this installation, light engages in a discussion with gravity using water as an interpreter.

In Malmisali daily 3–7 January 17:00–22:00.

When reflected through swinging water, light – which is normally beyond the reach of gravity – bends, yet always returns to its starting point as if it had mass. This discussion between the elements creates a motion that is both familiar and strange at the same time.
