Meerklank

Meerklank is an immersive installation that brings together acoustic sound and moving light in interaction with our audience. The work features a large wooden wheel with one light that illuminates the surroundings. As visitors walk inside the wheel, they set a slow composition in motion. Each movement triggers sound and light, forming a continuously evolving rhythmic landscape. The projection of sound, light, and movement creates a poly-rhythmic experience in which the audience actively shapes the perception of time. In nature, time does not flow in a single straight line; cycles of light, tides, and life rhythms intertwine, allowing multiple time scales to resonate at once. Meerklank demonstrates how movement and listening can attune us to these cyclical and layered temporal structures.

Meerklank invites slowing down, perception, and reflection. It reveals that time is not a single straight line, but a network of cycles and pulses – breath, growth, traces of motion – that coexist. By participating in the work, visitors become aware of their own place within these rhythms and are invited to listen to time as it unfolds naturally. Meerklank was made in collaboration with Schemerlicht Festival, around the 2025 theme ‘Time’.
