KAIROS_LUX ÆTERNA is a multimedia installation by Susanna Brenner in De Grote of Laurenskerk in Weesp. You can visit LUX ÆTERNA for 3 days for free.
A sculpture of metal, textile wire and paint will hang in the middle of the choir space, where the altar used to be and which is now empty. Sound, video and lighting design will be customized for this site-specific installation.
KAIROS_LUX ÆTERNA is inspired by the Christian labyrinth and will explore the boundaries of the sacred and the profane. The installation will be created in part during a series of artist-led workshops. LUX ÆTERNA aims to function as a prayer and meditation, resonating with the here and now, the before and after, the above and below. The wire sculptures represent the ties that bind us, while the layered soundscape weaves an aural tapestry that offers a multisensory journey, a powerful, immersive experience.
Experience KAIROS_LUX ÆTERNA even more intensely on Friday night during Thousand and One Nights by orchestra Con Brio, with Abdelkader Benali, and Madelon Verbeek, among others. An enchanting evening full of
compelling live music, intriguing stories and beautiful images surrounding the mysterious Sheherazade and her Thousand and One Nights.
