LIGHT-MOBILES

Light-Mobiles are compositions of suspended lenses that are fine-tuned to project spatially distributed ‘light paintings’. The works operate between 3D sculpture and 2D image, seeking a visual-chord that resonates and reverberates with the luminosity of an environment, modulating the light of the space as it transitions from day to night. 

Combining the ​fundamental photographic process—where light is mediated by the lens—with the artistic tradition of mobiles that consider the structure of the body and its movement in space, the pieces are conceived as technical satellites that tune the geometries of light and sympathetic resonances between the psycho-physical body and its environment.​ Confronted by technologies that seek to automate our sensibility, the work offers a sculptural aperture that de-instrumentalises technological enframing. Through the play of mediation, light is thereby once again understood as that enigmatic signifier of consciousness — not subject to the program, but as that prior luminosity in which it first appears.

The pieces are created either as bespoke site-responsive compositions or as unique editions.
