Commissioned by the poet Sabrina Mahfouz for her solo show Dry Ice (Showed 20th – 23rd April 2011, at the New Wimbledon Theatre, London), “So.. I was at a party last night” is a collaboration between Andrea Cuius and Roland Ellis.
Conversations and interactions form the stimulus for this reactive light installation. Each point of light has a character and together they form a dynamic canopy complementing the frequencies and amplitudes of a performance. The naturally smooth dimming of the tungsten lends well to the classic aesthetic given to the canopy. The glass of the lamps is of various forms, from the classic bulb to large spheres, cones and tubes; each with its own intricate filament glowing inside. When extinguished the glass is speckled with reflections of light from around the canopy.
Installation includes 30 tungsten lamps with intricate filaments that are suspended above the performer. A microphone captures the audio, which is analysed real time using Cinder producing the canopy’s illuminating reactions.
