SEEGUIN SAYA

The Kishle (in Turkish kışla - barracks), currently a museum space, is situated on the same plot where once a 2000 year-old palace, an Ottoman prison, military barracks, and a police station once stood. Within this space, constantly changed by rulers and governments throughout history (almost as often as we change socks), Wackelkontakt examines the realm of human consciousness through the senses. The audiovisual experience springs from the viewers themselves as it combines with their physical stress and their current state of consciousness.

SEEGWIN SAYA is a sound and light production and also a composition bound by time, continuing Wackelkontakt’s research about the power of the relationship between the artist, the audience, and the space, as well as within each viewer’s inner world. The work continues the experimental tradition of Ganzfeld (from the German, “entire field”). It interprets through excess, seeking to bring sensory knowledge to the extreme and at the same time avoiding it. This state of consciousness allows extra-sensory information to gain strength and rule, becoming a collective art experience in a defined, enclosed space, centering on the regulation of consciousness.

Note: The experience may cause states of heightened consciousness, not recommended for those with eye-photo sensitivities.
