Fri 24.02 – Sun 26.02
First presented at the LOOP festival as part of Esch2022, Towers is an audiovisual digital sculpture revolving around the theme of time. It allows the visitors to retrace the past of the South of Luxembourg and its history through four stages: Discovery of iron ore deposits, Ironworks, Deindustrialisation, and Looking to the future.
The four themes are represented graphically using real-time generated visuals on towers reminiscent of the chimneys usually seen around the major past and present industrial sites.
Towers was produced with the help of servicesforcreatives.lu and Commune de Sanem − Service Culturel as part of Esch22 European Capital of Culture.
