The installation Inner Echo, developed as part of my master's thesis, is grounded in the method of Active Imagination. It establishes an immersive space in which visitors engage in a dialogue with their unconscious through internal imagery, thoughts, and emotions.
At the core of the installation are handcrafted lotus leaves, symbolizing the self. Abstract projections, synchronized with music, serve as stimuli for inner perception. A carefully composed interplay of soft lighting, soothing soundscapes, and subtle color gradients cultivates a meditative atmosphere, fostering introspection and self-reflection.
The music evolves from gentle sounds to an intense climax before abruptly breaking off and gradually fading away. Contextless sentences interwoven into the composition disrupt its continuity, prompting a dialogue between the "I" and the "Self." This interplay between linear progression and unexpected interruptions creates a space for reflection and interaction.
Distancing effects and experimental narrative structures pull listeners out of familiar patterns of perception, opening up new perspectives. The sound composition, created by Richard Kristen (Kristen & Schmidt), enhances the immersive experience by intertwining sound, space, and individual perception
