LSP
LSP is a series of works in which the artist creates composed relationships between light and sound in space.
By combining laser light with a thin layer of smoke it becomes possible to project in space, instead of on a surface.
The work has bodily and almost tangible qualities and takes place in front, around and behind the audience. The architectural quality of light builds upon, and simultaneously intersects with, the spatial perception of sound. The resulting environment challenges the audience to choose and change their perspective while allowing themselves to be transported by the work. It is a true sensory experience.
