LIGHT FLAPS, an installation uniting video, photo and soundscape, invites the viewer to approach, as closely as possible, the bare bones of raw light. The sun’s movements are encoded in our DNA. It’s a twilight that surrounds us. Based on three natural elements - sunlight, sand and glass - the work portrays harmony and clarity in an all too busy world. The sacred lies within its simplicity.
At first comforting, the symmetry, reveals itself, nonetheless, as cock-eyed. Double-edged, the images oscillate and leave us unsettled. Our genetic code has been programmed over millennia to understand the sun’s path as a constant. As a seismograph of refraction, LIGHT FLAPS turns this reality upside-down.
