Zalán Szakács invites the audience to experience his latest work, in which he pushes the boundaries of immersive art. Step into the Eigengrau Pavilion, where light, haze, sound, and movement guide you on a mystical journey.
A 360° sensory environment
The Eigengrau Pavilion is a 360° sensory environment where light and darkness interplay. This unique inflatable space, filled with haze, immerses you in an intimate atmosphere in which the boundaries of the spaces are blurred. The dome takes inspiration from the Movie-Drome (1965) by Stan VanDerBeek, a pioneer artist of the expanded cinema movement, which redefined cinema by returning it to its core elements: light, space, and time.
Inside the Eigengrau Pavilion, a specially designed circle of light forms a spatial cylinder, leading the audience on an abstract journey that each individual experiences uniquely. The installation challenges the limits of perception, making you question what is real and what is illusion.
