An interactive light and music installation celebrating the magical power of literature.
“Take Comfort” is an interactive art installation that celebrates the magical power of literature as a source of comfort, support, and inspiration. The large-scale installation consists of a table with an old typewriter and 32 luminous objects. Initially, the atmosphere is dark and tense, but it unfolds a feeling of comfort as soon as someone begins typing at the typewriter. The interactive music shifts from tense to a warm and inviting mood, while each typed letter illuminates a light object, creating a beautiful play of light.
„Take Comfort“ pays homage to the poem of the same name by British poet Roger McGough.
