Esrum Abbey
Abbey Life
(2018)
The Exhibition "abbey life" invites the visitor to experience a modest and simple life behind the abbey walls through a modern interpretation created by Esrum Kloster, YOKE and Dark Matters. The gyroscopic inspired light installation is the constant puls in the exhibition. Inviting visitors to experience the 24-hour rythm in the Abbey, in the course of 24 minutes. Each circle depicts a unit of time ranging from 1 second to infinity and herby functioning as a 24 minutes clock.
Thirteen vertical light pillars are suspended from the ceiling representing a choir of 12 chanting monks led by the abbot. Here, visitors will experience the choir service performed by the monks as a part of the eight daily canonical hours.
