“CHU - Liquid States“. Land Art Projection Mapping Show

CHU (water in Ladakhi language) is an audiovisual projection-mapping Show. Created for Asia’s highest land-art exhibition: Saladakh. The live performance took place on a rock structure, next to the city of Leh in Ladakh. Located in the vast landscape of the Himalayas. The theme of this 8-min-long show is water and its different states. Ladakh is suffering from a water crisis. Either there is too much or not enough water available at all. „Light particles hitting metamorphic rocks, granite and lichen. Fluid shapes, flickers and waves flow over the harsh solid surface. (Internationally acclaimed) German light artist Philipp Frank’s work titled ‘Liquid States’ invites us into an unknown and unseen world. His waves of light cover the Himalayan landscape like a comfortable liquid blanket. The waves resemble water. Something elusive in this 50 million-year-old mountainous superstructure, just as Philipp’s artwork itself. With this captivating artwork, Philipp reflects on the increasing water scarcity and our specie’s universal dependence on it in a high altitude realm.“ Artwork & Production: Music: Exhibition: Chapters: 0:00 Intro 1:35 Part 01 2:22 Part 02 4:04 Part 03 4:45 Part 04 5:35 Part 05 6:25 Part 06 07:35 Outro
