Mirrored Lightscapes, UK

An immersive light and sound installation at art’otel London, Hoxton, part of 2025 London Design Festival, Recognized in The Times’ as one of the standout exhibitions in this year’s London Design Festival.

Light has been used since antiquity as a conceptual tool in the construction of drawing projections. This work uses light as a device to create live drawings that can change in real time. As light reflects off sculpted revolving reflector surfaces, it transcribes the three-dimensional information coded in the mirrored material in minute scale into a dynamic spatial lightscape that engages the viewer in a meditative gaze.

As the reflectors revolve, the light drawings transform, projecting the three-dimensionality of the surface as evolving lightscapes. The reflector topography was derived from aspects of the human anatomy (vocal cords, mouth, lungs) and fabricated with the use of a robotic arm that embosses the surface of a stainless-steel mirror surface. They create an alternative way of specializing imagery of the human body as light density.

Immersive light projections serve as the illumination source for the physical phenomena of reflection, amplifying minuscule conditions that are normally overlooked and translating micro scale surface events into otherworldly light drawings at an architectural scale. As viewers interact with the work, the microscopic transcription blends aspects of natural sciences and with spatial reverie, engaging the viewer’s curiosity and extending their way of seeing their environment. These drawings reflect upon both technology and nature, and the movement embedded within the work allows for an immersion within a world that is both rational and mysterious.

Mirrored Lightscapes featured a bespoke sound composition by Italian composer and transmedia electronic artist Gadi Sassoon. His piece, Luminal Space, continues the sonic explorations of his 2025 album Modes of Vibration, blending classical composition, fine art, and experimental algorithms to craft a sonic experience that is both raw and precisely engineered.
