Looking-Glass House is a new work by Andrea Božić and Julia Willms in collaboration with the moon: an audio-visual installation for the Arne Jacobsen Foyer at the Herrenhausen Gardens taking place every evening of the festival after the sunset. It takes the visitors on a parcour of spaces from outside the building to an immersive environment inside it and back outside to the night sky.
Especially for the occasion of the KunstFestSpiele Herrenhausen, Božić and Willms have prepared the exact same night sky above Hanover as it was in 1965, the year the construction of the Arne Jacobsen Foyer began. Throughout the festival, the moon passes through the exact same phases, against the same backdrop of the star constellations, making a replica of the night sky in 1965: growing towards a full moon to then disappear from the skies on the closing night of the festival. With a special event: a lunar eclipse above Hanover on the 16th of May.
The new light installation inside the AJ Foyer brings the palette of the night sky colours into the modernist glass-house building, expanding its architectural inversion of the inside outside spaces and the play of mirroring and reflections.
Inside the building, the visitors can enter the audio-visual installation Through the Looking Glasses, sensory immersion within the space of colour and sound, a no- space experience based on the Ganzfeld effect.
