The magical flickering of a water surface is something that hypnotises many people, and that's where "Current Tide" plays into. Mother and daughter collaborated for this work, creating a balance between two extremities: young and old, modern and traditional, digital and analogue. A simple work, yet effective. Together these values shape an art installation with ceramics and digital projections, which give the visitor a feeling of submerging in an underwater cocoon and let themselves be carried away in the waves while influencing them with their hand gestures. By laying down, the visitor is being flooded by a feeling of "flow", where time does not exist, hearing and seeing dissolve, and take place for an almost meditative state.

 

In our current world we hurry so often, and it is terrible for our mental health. Current Tide tries to take away the current, and let everything flow much calmer, even if it is just for a bit.
