Today my painting class took a little trip to the Wood Street Galleries to see the new exhibition by Kurt Hentschlager. Hentschlager's installation Zee is an immersive environment that creates an indescribable sensation.
The gallery attendant is required to issue a safety warning saying it's suggested that people who have a history of epilepsy, photosensivtivity, who are claustrophic, agoraphoic or experience anxiety attacks should not view the piece. And the list of other potential health hazzards went on. Ironically hearing all of this made my heart beat much faster giving me more of an apprehensive feeling.
So nine at a time can view the installation. We walked through a door entering a small hallway lit by a single blue light. Then walking through another door we were inside the piece. Billowing clouds of artficial fog and stroboscopic lights fully obscure the space. It was like walking into a dream like blizzard. People would float in and out of view disappearing like ghosts. I went from feeling disoriented and tense to a calm surreal. "The physical world mutates into a primordial soup of pulsing sound, mist and colored light. It is both terrifying and transportive" says artist Claudia Hart. I would highly recommend going to see the exhibtion.
