Called Sounds of Threads, the installation comprises strands of wool stretched between four wooden stands, with beams of white light projected across them in time to a piece of music.

"I was interested in questions of how sight can enhance hearing, or also disturb our balance in perceiving a multimedia-based bodily experience," said Lanthiez.

"I tried to demonstrate the power of our senses when they interact simultaneously," he added.

Lanthiez composed an original piece of music to use in the installation, which he exhibited earlier this year in Reykjavik.
