Eclipse Installation, Draaimolen 2026
Still enjoying the aftermath of last weekend. Thank you for all the messages about this piece!
The installation was designed as a moment of pause at Draaimolen Festival, titled Eclipse. An eclipse is a moment of interruption and for a few minutes light falls, temperatures drop, and everyone stops to look at the same thing. This is the closest we still come to the rituals that
once gathered people around the sun.
The intervention restages that pause in a forest clearing. A draped fabric canopy holds the space, an invitation to lie back and rest. The platform beneath carries low-frequency energy which is felt through the body rather than heard.
Above, a halo of light flickers and responds in rhythm with the vibrations below: radiance
passing behind shadow. The installation is about asking of visitors to stop and watch the light
change together, and to feel a deeper connection with the forest and our place in the world.
Thank you to the hard work from all involved: Eliza, Rikard, Defne, Pablo, Paul, Ali, Fabin
