Hypnosis is known for inducing a trance state and using suggestions to influence behavior and thought. EMDR, on the other hand, is considered a non-mystical, medical evolution of this idea, aimed at helping people process traumatic events that they cannot consciously address.
For Conflux Festival 2024, Jeroen Alexander Meijer presents 'The Pendulum Always Swings Back to Stillness,' an installation that playfully explores the psychological effects of light overstimulation on the sensory system. This newly commissioned artwork features a large pendulum with a powerful light source, focusing on the phenomena of hypnosis and EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing).
