Why INVERTLIGHT
The project hinges on the role light has played as a form-giver, meaning-enhancer, and numinous-revealer in medieval church architecture, but acknowledges how light becomes difficult and unforgiving in heritage conditions. While we are moved by directional lighting and the stained-glass dappled surfaces in churches, the illumination levels in churches can interfere with the minimal luminosity that multimedia contemporary art installations need. The space-light interventions invert the light constraints to dynamic disruptions. In this project, light as a primordial vehicle of the sight-scape will be entangled with other sensorial journeys.
