Eugènia Balcells proposes an original installation for the Millet Hall of the Palau de la Música: The Light of the Elements 

The project The Light of the Elements consists of:
-Mural Tribute to the Elements
-Audiovisual installation Frequencies

The audiovisual installation for the Millet Hall speaks of creation as an energetic dance that manifests itself through lights and colors, just as it happens in the stained glass window and on the balcony of the columns.

The Light of the Elements in the Millet Hall, due to the specific conditions of the hall and the natural light that enters throughout the day through its stained glass window, will have two times: day and night. During the day, you can contemplate the mural Tribute to the Elements.

During the night, the work Frequencies will be projected: in which the luminous spectra of the elements intertwine on the walls of the hall and on the floor, creating a fabric of light that will allow people to immerse themselves in this dance of lights and be part of the work.

In Tribute to the Elements, the two icons of physics and chemistry have been brought together in a single image for the first time: the emission spectra of the elements and the periodic table. Tribute to the Elements recognizes the symbolic nature of the Periodic Table by adding the light signature of each element to its chemical description. In this way, it asserts that light is the voice of matter. Tribute to the Elements simultaneously celebrates the intrinsic power of light and the invaluable treasure of human knowledge. No other image has the symbolic character of unity in diversity contained in this mural.

The mural Tribute to the Elements offers viewers an aesthetic experience that brings them closer to the current understanding of reality, following a well-established tradition in the History of Art – as, for example, the cathedrals did by spreading the knowledge available in their time through their sculptural portals and paintings.

The video installation Frequencies is a continuous immersive projection in which the luminous imprints emitted by each element combine with each other, thus configuring a metaphor of the origin of the universe. Frequencies allows us to experience firsthand the atomic vibration of matter. It takes us inside a poetry written in the fundamental alphabet. It allows us to touch the spectral lines and walk among them, observing the partitions between them and thus detecting the subtlest quantum states.
