Synopsis
Blink of Light is an immersive, interactive installation that invites visitors to reflect on the fragility of memory and truth in a world where much is hidden, forgotten, or erased. In complete darkness, participants use a flashlight to explore a space filled with fleeting fragments of images, texts, and sounds echoes of suppressed voices and forgotten histories. Each visitor chooses what to illuminate and what to leave unseen, revealing how we shape and limit our own understanding of reality. Combining noir aesthetics, interactive storytelling, and sensory minimalism.
