299 702 520 m/s and 200 668 896 m/s

Here is another piece that Xavier and I collaborated on. We created the monoliths for a show called 'Bold Tendencies III' which ran from June to September this year. The titles of the pieces are in the post title, being the speed of light through air and the speed of light through perspex respectively. The monoliths played with the idea of capturing light, light as the defining feature of our existence, and in retrospect resembled inverted voids. They were positioned so that shadows fell long, and and by referencing sun-worship aimed to explore how light defines our existence. Plus they were big, shiny and pervy, and definitely not designed to be sympathetic to the industrial environment.
