Using subtle modes of intervention through artificial light to leave a footprint that is deep enough to show, but shallow enough to blow away in the wind.
Aglow foregrounds how the medium of light can work to significantly affect a landscape, movement or location, whilst remaining largely non-disruptive, temporary and in a constant two-way engagement with the depicted space.
Aglow is heavily influenced by the reading of Bruno Latour's Facing Gaia, as it takes on his call to rethink our relations to the world around us and to redistribute agency amongst humans and non-human actors alike.
Documentation of three images from Aglow during the group exhibition Outside Inn at the Royal Academy of Art (KABK) in The Hague in May 2021. In this exhibition, which focused on the artificiality or blurring of distinctions between the outside and the inside, the curated and the non-curated, the photos printed on translucent textile were lit by filtered natural light from above and a hidden artificial light from within that continuously changed in brightness.
