Chronotop

Ingo Wendt

With “Chronotop“, the German artist Ingo Wendt has developed a kinetic projection system that transforms individual perceptions of time into a form that can be experienced by the senses. The installation consists of circular projection surfaces on which live analogue images of the mechanical apparatus are transmitted. The coloured dial and the moving timepiece can be seen. Driven by planetary movements, four cylinders rotate and create a dynamic choreography of light in the room.

“Chronotop“ invites you to pause for a moment: Viewers decide for themselves how long they want to linger. In a contemplative atmosphere where the sense of time and perception of space become blurred the moment becomes one’s own experience.

Wendt’s works combine light, movement and analogue image techniques. He composes impressive visual scenarios from seemingly banal materials such as confetti, soap bubbles or found objects. His artistic focus is on the poetic quality of the analogue and on making visible what would otherwise be overlooked.
