Sliced

Encor Studio (Switzerland)

Location: Lawn beside NTUC Building

An expanse of darkness, formed by thick fabric hanging above, shrouds the long corridor in an air of mystery. Dotted with perforations on its surface, light streaks through parts of the fabric, casting shadows and patterns that shift with changing angles and atmospheric conditions. Walk through the corridor and watch as configurations of light and shadow form with every movement. Or still yourself, connect with the space and focus solely on your senses. 

Sliced achieves scale through minimal intervention. It draws attention to what already exists: light, sound, air, space, creating opportunities for contemplation rather than objects of attention.

About the artist

Encor Studio, founded in 2016 by Swiss audiovisual artists Mirko Eremita, David Houncheringer, Manuel Oberholzer, and Valerio Spoletini, merges technology with lo-fi materials using self-developed tools. Experimenting with kinetic sculptures, architectural installations, and sound visualisation, their work challenges perception by providing a reflexive look at the human condition through the distortion of reality. 

The studio is now focused on a reductionist approach, subtracting rather than adding elements, allowing the direct environment and lighting itself to play a larger role.
