No thoughts can reach the light, that distant light, which however reaches me.
A light shines through different lenses and moves on their surfaces. The lenses refract, shape and direct light so that its nature changes. The work was born out of an interest in cosmic scales and optics, which have made it possible to observe and record the space.
Which kind of light sources and what other materials and equipment are used?
The artwork consists of glass lenses, a small halogen light, a steel apparatus, a motor, pulleys, belts and a wooden pedestal.
