The Wave

X-rays, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and CT-scans, can all be seen as invisible waves that make the inside of our bodies visible to the eye. While we now accept that invisible waves carry information that can be translated into images and sounds, this concept was revolutionary when X-rays were first discovered, causing a sensation. The Wave invites the audience to experience the shifting nature of waves as they transition between silence and sound, invisibility and visibility.

As you journey through the 80-meter-long light tunnel, you experience traces of technologies that allow us to peer beneath the surface of our skin, deeper into our own body, our own flesh. How does it make you feel? Can you discover something new?

The Wave is inspired by Nobel Prize awarded research on X-ray (physics prize 1901), MRI (medicine prize 2003) and the CT scan (medicine prize 1979).

Vertigo

Established in 2011, Vertigo is a Copenhagen-based audiovisual artist collective known for its inventive light installations, scenographies, and immersive experiences.

Vertigo’s portfolio includes exhibitions at Copenhagen Contemporary, SNFCC in Athens, Centre Point in London, and many more venues.

Collaborations with the Copenhagen Philharmonics, Den Sorte Skole, Who Killed Bambi, DR Symphonic Orchestra, Lil Lacy, and Hotel Pro Forma have expanded Vertigo’s creative horizons. In 2023, the collective earned a Reumert Prize nomination for their work on sh4dow, highlighting their commitment to artistic innovation.

We work with light and sound as a medium to transform and activate rigid, empty spaces. We see ourselves as transformative architects. Using simple and light structures with sound and light, we transform static spaces and shake them up.
