Named after the concept ‘Syzygy – a close union or shadowing of celestial bodies’, the artist creates a mobile performance in two bicycle mounted sections that work together in visual tandem. Images and abstractions of the solar eclipse, a phenomenon that was heavily influential for Einstein in his later work, are projected on an artificial cloud of mist. We witness the shifting colours as they move through space and can follow them in real time as the mobile performance travels through the city.

Jonas Johansson is an audiovisual artist working in Halland where he runs the residence Visualia, and Stockholm where he – beyond his artistic practice – lectures in art + technology. He runs the network Nordic Audiovisual Artists, and makes light with friends at the artist collective Svartljus. His work is best experienced in the moment at unusual places: dancing in the desert, shivering in the snow, lost in a forest, hiking a mountain or moving through the streets.
