Elaine Kordys (UK): How excellent your name is in the world

The piece formed of light sound and the presence of the artist is a metaphorical study of hope. Light represents hope and infinite possibilities, whereas to Kordys especially artificial light signifies a field of possibilities both in a real and ethereal sense. Kordys has chosen the 24-hour period to reflect the natural cycle of light and the way in which it is recreated within artificial space. Kordys will be wearing a pair of tunnel vision glasses throughout the entire lenght of the performance. The audience will also be given the opportunity to examine the work through an identival apparatus. During the 24 hours people are welcome to come and spend long or short periods of time at the site. They are also encouraged to return so they can see how the piece develops.

Live artist Elaine Kordys describes her work as being performative installations. The term reflects the balance within her interests between visual and performing arts. Installation referring to the former and performative to the latter, i.e. use of the body. Her works have been described as surreal, minimalist and futuristic. She hopes to create an environment in which people are encouraged to dig into their own imagination.
