elf– Installation with analog electronics, photographs and preserving glasses, 2004, Pascal Glissmann, Martina Höfflin
elfs are small, analog creatures reacting to light, calling the attention of the observer with their delicate sounds and movements. The installation depicts the electronic life forms photographed in nature and displays them in 10 traditional preserving-glasses.
The elf installation and research is inspired by the "living particles works" of Ralf Schreiber.
