Phasing Rain is an immersive installation by Xavi Bové Studio and Onionlab, presented at Es Baluard Museu in January 2020. It filled the bastion’s old cistern, a long stone room with a barrel vault.

We handled the technical set-up: dozens of vertical light tubes spread across the room, narrow-beam fixtures, loudspeakers and haze machines, all synchronised from a programming station. With the room in darkness, light and sound changed in phases and visitors walked through a rain of light cutting through the haze.
