In The Enigma Room, time is suspended. Upon entering, pause and surrender to the immersive sensations. Custom coding and digital manipulation weave together photographs, video, and audio sourced from Ed Kashi’s extensive global archive. This installation extracts Kashi’s work from its original context, creating abstract connections across time and space. The Enigma Room, a collaborative effort between Ed Kashi, Brenda Bingham, Michael Curry, and Rachel Bolaños, transports the viewer into a sensory journey through cycles of chaos, calm, and rebirth.
