Light Beyond Visibility
Light Beyond Visibility
An immersive light installation that turns the thoughts in our heads into something we can walk around, sit with and touch. A glowing cylinder stands for the mind, tangled with ideas and memories. Under UV light, visitors draw and let go of their thoughts in a ring of glowing paper punches.

The centre cylinder depicts the mind, tangled with thoughts, both the beautiful and colourful ones. UV light brings out the essence of our memories and lets certain thoughts glow brighter than the rest.
Paper punches lit by UV make the glow. Gelatin paper on a GI wire scribble throws colourful shadows across the muslin.
