Event Description

ZEE is a rigorous mindscape; a hallucinatory architecture of light; a dream machine.

An enclosed space is filled with a dense, odorless fog that completely obscures the walls, floor and ceiling. Individuals freely roam this environment, while flickering light filters through the haze, inducing hallucinations and sensory distortions within each viewer. A droning soundscape intensifies this full-immersion experience, shifting dynamically according to changes in the color, frequency and intensity of the light.

Exhilarating and meditative, Hentschläger's pulsing, stroboscopic and mind-altering ZEE pushes the boundaries of human perception and creates an intensely riveting audiovisual journey.

"Hentschläger's piece delivered literally on the hackneyed promise that art will refashion one's way of seeing the world." - Kenneth Baker, Art Critic, San Francisco Chronicle, November 2008
