![]()
ZEE proposes a state of tabula rasa and unfolds without a narrative or reproducible imagery.
The audience moves freely in a space filled with extremely dense fog that fully obscures all of its boundaries. Stroboscopic- and pulse lights illuminate the fog, in a softened, evenly dispersed manner, creating an impression of kaleidoscopic three-dimensional structures in constant flux. An ambient and minimal sound-scape connects to the imagery, without directly synchronizing to it.
The core visual impression of ZEE is of a psychedelic architecture of pure light, an abstract luminescent landscape enveloping the visitor. Time appears to stand still.
