PHOSPHORESCENCE
Phosphorescence is the bodily take on the poem Stopping by Woods on a Snowy Evening by Robert Frost.
The multisensorial experience is an on-foot venture into a dark and low lit room filled with obstacles, guided by the dim light of a lantern in the protagonist's hand.
/ GUIDES
STOPPING BY WOODS ON A SNOWY EVENING /
By Robert Frost
Whose woods these are I think I know.
His house is in the village though;
He will not see me stopping here
To watch his woods fill up with snow.
My little horse must think it queer
To stop without a farmhouse near
Between the woods and frozen lake
The darkest evening of the year.
He gives his harness bells a shake
To ask if there is some mistake.
The only other sound’s the sweep
Of easy wind and downy flake.
The woods are lovely, dark and deep,
But I have promises to keep,
And miles to go before I sleep,
And miles to go before I sleep.

RENDERS TO HELP VISUALISE THE SPACE BEFORE MAKING /
Since the passage available was very tiny, marking out different volumes and paths helped find the best layout for the space.
