The art of communicating with the imponderable
Splinter is an invitation to commune with the extraordinary.
This interactive, sonorous and luminous work is composed of five monoliths arranged in a circle.
By moving around each statue, you awaken the mysterious entities sheltering within the structures. They will respond to you and communicate amongst themselves in a majestic ballet of geometric shapes and harmonious rhythms.
Activate more than one monolith at a time, and they will reveal even more of their secrets!
