KINESIS

In 2024, Fabifa took part in the “Kinesis” group exhibition in Berlin, a show that brought together various artists to explore the concept of movement and transformation. Her contribution to this exhibition was the installation titled “Cyber Geisha,” reflecting her affinity for cyberpunk aesthetics.

The “Cyber Geisha” installation featured an innovative use of monochrome lighting. This lighting technique was integral to the piece, designed to switch from normal white light to monochrome, effectively stripping away all colors and leaving only yellow and black. This transformation highlighted the duality and contrast inherent in the cyberpunk genre, emphasizing themes of change and the intersection of tradition and technology.

Monochrome light refers to light of a single wavelength, or color, typically used to create a specific visual effect by eliminating all other colors. In the context of Fabifa’s installation, monochrome lighting was used to shift the viewer’s perception, providing a stark contrast to the vibrant colors typically associated with her work. When the lighting switched to monochrome, the installation’s elements were reduced to shades of yellow and black, transforming the space and challenging the viewer’s sensory experience.

“Kinesis” itself was an exploration of movement in both physical and metaphorical senses, drawing from the ancient Greek word “kinesis” (κίνησις). The exhibition was held in the heart of Berlin, transforming the venue into a hub of contemporary digital art where the lines between reality and illusion were blurred. It featured a multitude of immersive installations and artworks, each contributing to a dynamic narrative that invited viewers to become an integral part of the experience.

Fabifa’s “Cyber Geisha” stood out for its meticulous detail and the thoughtful integration of monochrome light. The installation not only showcased her technical prowess but also her conceptual depth, aligning with the broader themes of the “Kinesis” exhibition. This innovative use of light added a unique layer to the exhibit, offering a new perspective on the interplay between color, light, and form in art.
