Eliza McNitt’s triptych Spheres was presented as part of the exhibition ‘Echo: Reverberation in Space’ at the Phi Center.

The virtual reality work immerses us in a sidereal universe. In this award-winning interactive experience, the solar system and gravitational waves are played out like a hypnotic melody, the black hole becomes a fantastic epic, darkness becomes light.

UDO accompanied the Phi Center in the realization of the lighting. The scenography is composed of 9 luminous rings suspended and arranged in a funnel. At the end of this funnel on the wall is a circular mirror accompanied by a halo of light emanating from the back like an eclipse. The walls of the room are draped with black velvet curtains creating a mysterious and hushed space. The static white lighting gives the impression upon the room entrance that one is entering the cosmos.
