2004
For the artist’s first US museum survey, seven chandeliers were suspended in two quiet, sunlit galleries. Each chandelier was paired with a small monitor installed on a nearby wall displaying various texts, from prose to philosophy to poetry. Each message was then translated into Morse Code and sent as patterns of pulsing light to each of the chandeliers, flickering endlessly across adjoining hallway floors, galleries, and exterior spaces.
