Ebb and Flow is inspired by the I-Ching or Book of Changes, an ancient Chinese text based on the concept of constant transformation in life, specifically its 42nd hexagram Yi (Increase). Yi speaks of expansion and fullness – yet another cycle of life that blossoms, decays, and achieves rebirth. Ebb and flow, darkness and light, life and death. “What is” springs from “what is not”, and the end of the world is at the same time the beginning of something new.
Lichun (image) works with six 16mm projectors, while Robert (sound) uses analog-generated waveforms to construct, layer, and deconstruct visual and auditory textures. Through the live interplay of image and sound, they create an experience that transcends the senses – one in which the spectator no longer consciously watches or listens, but simply is.
