Virgil Widrich

A black-and-white film that lets you see colors.

Attention! This film contains flashing lights which may not be suitable for light-sensitive epilepsy.

Initially barely noticeable, the first dim flashes of light become continuously brighter and more intense over a period of five minutes. Towards the end they become a staccato of light and dark stimuli that evoke psychedelic colour impressions in the audience. ''Light Matter'' takes advantage of a physiological phenomenon where the rapid change from light to dark triggers color perception in the brain without the detour via the receptors of color vision in the eye.
