Multi Faith Prayer Room

During Art Basel Miami 2022 Brandt Brauer Frick created "Multi Faith Prayer Room" - an immersive social sculpture featuring 120 voices from over 35 countries discussing faith, rituals, and the future, offering an intimate look into human thought in 2023. The pre-recorded statements are projected via spatial audio, allowing visitors to immerse themselves in the polyphony of voices and single out certain voices by moving around the space. Each voice is represented by a light source in the room.
