Join us at CultureHub LA for an A/V installation of The Enigma Room by Ed Kashi Studio. This unique collaborative audio visual experience, transports the viewer into a sensory journey through unending life cycles of chaos, calm, and rebirth.
The installation extracts Kashi’s archival stills and video footage from its original context, creating abstract connections across time and space. The recontextualized stories, photographs, and videos are woven together through custom coding, digital manipulation, and composite methods, reflecting photography’s continued transformation into a new digital medium, celebrating the evolving technical tools at our disposal.
Throughout time and location, the same stories, struggles, and cycles repeat themselves over and over again in this installation – from Black Lives Matter protests in America to uprisings in the Middle East to the plight of young Syrian refugees and the persistence of the natural cycles of life. Grounded in part by the elements of water, fire, air, earth and humanity, this enveloping user experience presents a fresh and sometimes dystopian view of modern life.
The Enigma Room installation will be open and running on a loop from 1–4pm PT on Saturday, April 22. RSVP not required.
