LIGHT OBJECT

BODY of LIGHT depicts a female torso dissolving into light.

The starting point is a cast of a mannequin – an object that traditionally represents standardised body images. However, through its transformation using dichroic film, this figure loses its solid materiality and becomes a prismatic, mutable form.

Light dematerialises the body

The dichroic surface refracts the light into an ever-changing spectrum of colours. Depending on the viewing angle, the body appears fragmented, translucent or almost immaterial. Contours dissolve, volume shifts, and identity becomes unstable. The supposedly unambiguous body transforms into a field of perceptions – multiple images of the body emerge simultaneously.

The suspended torso is presented floating freely in space and can rotate. Through the raised arm and the vertical upward movement, the body appears as a contemporary, fragile heroine figure, liberated from her static representation and placed in a state of transformation.

The body in flux

BODY of LIGHT conceives of the body as a prismatic structure: not fixed, but refracted, multifaceted and in flux. The dichroic film functions as an optical prism, transforming the standardised body into a spectrum of possible identities. Visibility becomes relative, materiality becomes fragile, and the body appears as an open, multi-layered construct. Constant material tensions repeatedly cause changes to the surface, so that the process of transformation never ends.

The result is a figure suspended between presence and dissolution – a floating body that is not defined, but becomes visible in its diversity.
