A video projection in the room, a view of a sunset on the beach. People search for shells, the sun dips into the sea, the waves rush. An inexplicable, threatening mood creeps into the romantic spectacle—a supernatural experience, perhaps an encounter with the medium of video itself…?
Obscure images hint at the presence of the inexplicable, intermediate worlds appear on the surfaces of TV screens, and an occult circle invites you to a séance.

Nils Nova stages a room installation with video, photography, and painting at the message salon. The artist was born in El Salvador and has lived in Lucerne since 1981. The message salon is hosting Nils Nova’s first solo exhibition in Zurich.
