“Beneath Stillness explores the fragile boundary between stillness and movement. Using real-time body data, visitors are immersed in a reflective environment where subtle bodily signals, such as breathing and micro-movements, shape the experience and render the invisible visible. The installation invites participants to slow down and become aware of their body in relation to space. Through the interaction of technology, sensory stimuli, and physical presence, a poetic experience unfolds in which silence is never static, but constantly in motion, deepening awareness and perception.”
