Sandglasses is a breath-taking, performance installation for four cellos, live electronics and video. Viewers are submerged in an immersive, audio-visual environment, which is at once beautifully meditative and heart-racingly powerful. Four cellists are shrouded in transparent columns, as they play, traces of light flit down the columns like grains of sand in a time glass. The music and visuals become increasingly powerful, and the viewer becomes submerged, slowly losing their sense of time and space. Created in collaboration with Italian video artist Luca Scarzella and performed by the Gaida Ensemble, Justė Janulytė’s Sandglasses is a three-dimensional, audio-visual exploration of the acoustic, visual and symbolic meaning of sand-timers.  SonicA festival 2012 | Glasgow
