Luminaries

Installation

Steel frame, glass

2015

Luminaries is an installation of sculptures that only exist in the eye of the beholder. Using the technique of Peppers Ghost, we created a collection of light sculptures that consist of neons and wire frames. These two elements are kept a distance apart, but are visually brought together by reflecting one onto the other using panes of glass.

Using clever lighting, the apparitions appear convincingly real, but are in fact reflections created through the eye of the viewer. They are as intangible and momentary as an idea in your mind.
