Twilight Suitcases re-signifies audiovisual data collected from sunsets around the world. The technique developed for this piece allows visitors to experience the "luminous landscape" by photographing a blank piece of paper every minute during sunset. These photographs are displayed on three video strips, gradually revealing their transformation over time.
The soundscape of each site is recorded and analyzed to recover, in the form of pure tones, the main frequency component of every minute. By playing side by side different reinterpreted versions, the project explores the ways in which time scales are locally experienced.
In the Noisestadt exhibition in the Kulturbäckerei the following sunsets were shown: Koblenz 8th May 2023, Mainz 28th March 2022, and Reykjavik 7th March 2023.
