Youth is usually related to a certain age range, which we believe is absurd. It’s the attitude that matters.
This way, "Here" was developed to pull out what all of us have inside and make it alive again. The formula that everyone could join and understand with no explanations was without question swings.
The installation combines sound and light as a result of the movement produced by the users. With the simultaneous movement of the multiple swings the sound starts flowing while users have fun.
The dimensions of the installation are around 17m in diameter, the framework being a scaffolding set which provides a structure strong enough to support the forces produced by the four swings. It also equips the piece with a great modularity in order to increase or reduce the number of swings, giving the square larger or smaller dimensions adapted to the exhibition space. The base of the swings and the light cubes that define the enclosure are variable depending on the oscillation speed of the users. Each swing has a unique sound which responds to it’s rhythm.
This Col·lec installation, presented at MAC Festival, was developed in collaboration with the programmers Helena Bantulà and Guillem Galimany, and with sound created by Yves del Río.
