light & sound installation

A light & sound installation emerging from the research on multicultural identity of Istanbul in media. The light units represent minorities who have lived in Istanbul. The sound design is composed from the music of various cultures who have existed in the streets of Istanbul. The influence of lights and flow of sound in the atmosphere creates an illusion of time and space with the focus on transience of media.

—experience—

When people walk around light units, the change in frequency and radiance of lights create an illusion of time in space. The sound design is composed from the musics of various cultures existed in the streets of Istanbul. The sound in interaction with lights represents the connection and peace in multicultural identity of the city.
