LIGHT-MOBILES

Light-Mobiles are compositions of suspended lenses that are fine-tuned to interact with light. Projecting a spatially distributed ‘light painting’, the works occupy the space between 3D sculpture and 2D image, seeking a visual-chord that reverberates and resonates with the luminosity of an environment.

Registering a luminosity that is distinct to each setting, the glass elements modulate the natural dynamic of the light of the space as it transitions from day to night. The pieces are created either as site-specific compositions or as unique editions.

Combining the fundamental photographic process—where light is mediated by the lens—with the artistic tradition of mobiles that consider the psycho-physical structure of the body and its movement in space, the pieces are conceived as technical satellites that calibrate the intermediating rays between the body and its environment.

Confronted by technologies that seek to automate our sensibility, the work offers a sculptural aperture that de-instrumentalises technological light. Through the play of mediation, light is thereby once again understood as that enigmatic signifier of consciousness—not subject to the program, but that prior luminosity in which it first appears.
