About

Monolith # is a work by Belgian radio and transdisciplinary artist Roel Heremans. In this self-performative piece for four participants, Heremans invites the audience on a mental journey via headphones. Guided by a voice, the choreography leads the participants through thought, vision, and movement to a state of introspection, which is augmented by four large mirrors in the middle of the space. The work acts as an allegorical algorithm or an algorithmic allegory reflecting the sudden arrival of hundreds of Monoliths worldwide (monolithtracker.com) and how this closed mirroring panopticon could be a representation of our times.
