Beacons – is the first artwork in a collaboration between Sasha Kojjio and Alisa Davydova. Duo creates installations at the intersection of land art and audiovisual art and puts them in significant landmarks and cultural locations. Characteristics of each installation such as shape, dynamics, light and sound are inspired by the place itself and highlight special aspects of it.

Beacon is a site-specific light installation that invites reflection on the delicate balance between the strength and fragility of nature.

Rather than offering a single point of focus, the work disperses attention — encouraging the viewer to explore the interplay of light, sound, and space on their own. The light animations are generated in real time through algorithms inspired by natural patterns: ocean waves, geological formations, shifting sand dunes, and the rhythms of a birch grove. As a result, each visual sequence is unique and gently evolves from one cycle to the next.

Technically light installation consists of 10 custom made pillars assembled from 800 video pixel bars. The multichannel soundscape, drawing on northern folklore and ancient ritual structures, deepens the sense of immersion and evokes a visceral, embodied experience of the environment.
