Interference
MA Diploma Exhibition
Interference is part of an ongoing exploration of the light behavior in space. Optical instruments, artificial light, and natural movement are fused together to explore their interconnected relationship.
The analog light interferences are being designed within an exhibition as well as performative space. Through a personal and experimental approach, the performer precisely controls and manipulates the light with her own body movement to explore visual phenomena. The natural behavior of light involves a very random and unexpected character as every small movement generates a unique visual outcome. Therefore, the light interferences are being generated through flat to volumetric surfaces of translucent instruments fused with artificial light and pre-designed body movements. Interference aims to emphasize the power of light as a medium and material to create, shape and transform the spatial experience in a live moment. Rediscovering the relationship between human and the material world while emphasizing a sense of vulnerability towards the contingencies of materiality.
