Sarah Meyohas combines analog and digital technologies to explore the systems that shape contemporary society, investigating the aesthetic potential of science and technology. Her immersive installation uses light to create luminous patterns generated by refraction or reflection on curved surfaces.
In this work, Meyohas transforms a natural phenomenon into an interactive artwork, allowing visitors to project sunlight onto a ribbon-like structure that extends across the desert. The mirrored panels, designed with algorithms to manipulate light, form the poetic phrase “truth arrives in slanted beams.”
The installation recalls ancient time-measuring instruments and 20th-century land art. Following the sun’s path, visitors can adjust the reflections, discovering optical illusions that evoke water in the arid landscape.
