The project took place in
4 galleries and the CAC at the same time (all spaces located within walking distance of
each other). The important point of the exhibition was the time-exchange of the
opened show. During the 3 weeks the exhibition was on, the
show was open at night from 12.00 PM to 6.00 AM. During the day all exhibition spaces had their regular
exhibitions. The "Darkness Orbit" projects were "installed"
during the day as well, but actually noticing the
project was possible only at night. The project was based on
light and sound material entirely unnoticeable during the days' activities, thus
underlining the possibility of the discovery of another layer within the same space, one
noticeable in different circumstances.
