Organic and non-organic material, searchlight, 4.1-channel composition, 2024

Under the Cold Sun is an installation built around a psychoacoustic composition, played through an organ-like sound system. The work imagines a religious instrument possessed by two Zoroastrian demons, Hārut and Mārut, who also appear in End Pull. Here they wreak havoc by shifting the tuning of a four-chord progression, producing ghost-like tones in the listener’s head.

At the far end of the space stands a black mirror. Over a 24-minute cycle, the searchlight gradually floods it with 20,000 lumens, and a synthetic celestial body emerges from the reflective surface of the mirror body.

Commissioned by the 9th Asian Art Biennale Taiwan (2024), and Kunstmuseum Magdeburg (2025)
