Take Comfort is an interactive light and sound installation that makes the comfort of the written word tangible within a physical space. Visitors are invited to sit at a vintage typewriter and share their thoughts and words with others. Each letter typed illuminates a light object, creating a delicate play of light that gradually fills the entire room. At the same time, the soundscape shifts – from a tense, charged atmosphere to one that is warm and soothing.
In this way, a collective space of resonance emerges—a space where people can experience moments of connection, sharing, and being held through the act of writing. Inspired by the eponymous poem by Roger McGough, Take Comfort explores the power of the written word to connect people across time and space—and to offer solace.
