60 Hz (2023)

The one-channel projection focuses on the sun’s energy and uses bold colors and strong contrasts to make this energy visually tangible. Geometric shapes and dynamic textures create an exciting visual composition that symbolizes the sun’s mutability.

The animation explores energy in physical, social, and spiritual forms. Energy is a physical quantity that expresses itself in heat and light and is a driving force in social and spiritual contexts. The work’s bold colors and dynamic movements symbolize this flow of energy, enabling life on earth and influencing human cultures and rituals. The visualization of solar energy is understood as a universal source that shapes the balance of nature and human life in equal measure.

The title “60 Hz” refers to the frequency at which electrical energy is transmitted in many parts of the world, particularly in the USA and some American countries. In this context, “60 Hz” is symbolic of the frequency and rhythm of energy flows that play a role in modern technology and the sun’s natural cycle. The reference to this frequency bridges the natural energy of the sun and the human-controlled electrical energy that permeates our modern lives. Thus, The title becomes a metaphor for the ubiquitous presence and continuous flow of energy, whether in nature or technology.
