Light objects
Series 'Mirrors of the Unseen (MotU)'
At what point are terms recognisable and integrable into one’s own linguistic system? Which synonymous manifestations does language have? The light objects 'MotU #1 to #3' present onomatopoetic stories and form exemplary linguistic reference systems. The matrix of light words is complemented with icons, which are likewise generated by the light sticks – image messages that incorporate, reflect, or disrupt the polylogical reference systems of words.
For 'MotU #1 to #3', LED light sticks, each with 64 super-bright LEDs, were mounted in painted stainless steel housings.
