30th-Dec-1997 07:50 pm - Vadim Fishkin. Lighthouse


"Fishkin's projects make us aware of the invisible connections between two points and the interconnectedness of the most diverse phenomena. In the Lighthouse installation (1997), Fishkin's heartbeat was transmitted to the cupola of the Viennese Secession from where it was re-transmitted as a pulsating light installed inside the gold-leaf filigree of the cupola placed on the rooftop of the Secession. In an interview I conducted with him in Ljubljana in March 2000, Fishkin compares the Lighthouse project with the On Kawaras "I am alive" project, which consisted of telegrams being sent to friends that only contained the phrase "I am still alive"9."

Synthesising our tribute to AL. Chizhevskiy and this statement, we created a dance piece for which the intensity of light was conditioned by the activity of the Sun on 7. February 1997 (the 100 Th. birthday of A.L. Chizhevskiy), and the rhythm of light was determined by the heart beat of dancers dancing in a performance of Paula Massano happening simultaneously in Centre Cultural des Belem in Lisbon,Portugal. The heart beat of the dancer in our performance was in the same time transmitted and incorporated (as light) into the performance of Paula Massano. "And once we experienced the exchange of our heart beats, this performance is free to depend on itself and so use the heart beat of its own dancer to guide the rhythm of light."
