Come experience a unique and individual immersion in the phenomenological world. Nighthouse Studio invites you to join us for The Optical Garden Tour. The Optical Garden Tour will focus on the subtleties of human perception, playing between the immateriality of light, color, and space; and the unique material and historical conditions of the gardens surrounding the International House of Japan. The Optical Garden Tour will make use of optical devices to allow the viewer a unique visual intervention that questions the notion of seeing in relation to the existing architectural site and landscape. The evening will conclude with an immersive audio score created especially for the garden by Floor van de Velde of Nighthouse Studio.
“The world is but thickened light.” Ralph Waldo Emerson
