LUMEN

Laszlo Moholy-Nagy: “Fotografie ist Lichtgestaltung"
(Bauhaus, 2/1, 1928, p.1)

LUMEN
In the Lumen series of projects the topic of investigation is light itself. It is a lifetime project in which various aspects of light are explored in separate bodies of work. My aim is to let light reveal itself.

Initial galleries are below. (Nb: there is no computer/digital manipulation;)

Luminescence
Electroluminescent (EL) wire was incorporated into custom-made costumes worn by the model. The model’s movements were then recorded, introducing a kinetic element. Images were also made using opaque and transparent mannequins.

Light Trace 光 のトレース
This second gallery results from a two day collaboration (during November 2011 in London) with Tokyo-based light artist/ fashion designer, Erina Kashihara.
For each of the six pieces of Erina's Light Mode Art there is one static image followed by light movement images.
Light emitted from within clothing and accessories combined with directed movements clothe the model within traces of light.

Wave
Images of light waves in water, glass, air and materials were projected onto the model. Film and analogue projection techniques were used.
