Culterim | Spaces | Rossmann // As the Light Fades

What happens when light disappears? What happens when the cables are cut, and darkness encroaches ? The interruption of light can cause contrasting emotional and physical reactions. Sometimes distress and fear of the things unseen, and other times serenity and calmness.

In science, the Ganzfeld Effect answers this as the brain’s reaction to sensory deprivation: when visual input collapses, the mind begins to generate its own images, movements, and internal landscapes. The absence of light does not create emptiness, rather it activates a different mode of seeing.

This immediate interruption from the loss of light can cause distress but can also create calmness, prompting the brain to generate new movements—new forms of creation. In the exhibition, we aim to investigate these movements psychologically, physically, and artistically. How does this shift impact our perceptions, our memory, and our sense of the present? What does light change—and what does it create?

Light activates latent memories and reshapes the way we observe what surrounds us. Through the artistic exploration of this concept often through the use of reflections, shadows, or subtle shifts of brightness, As the Light Fades suggests that to look is also to remember. And, that every change in light rewrites what we think we have already seen.
