Design Academy Eindhoven: project Still

Participant: Adam Farlie
Project name: Mourning Light


Mourning Light

The primary motive to this work is to allow viewers to experience the object in-the-round, that is, to generate fully the uncanny feelings created by the void on the underside of the light (an experience that is not done justice by the flatness of an image!). The black unbelly of the object, in contrast to the white light emitted from its sides, absorbs the light completely, asking the viewer to place her hands, or even her face, into the space underneath. In doing so, the viewer is shocked that she touches not a flat plane but an uncanny, pitch-dark void that continues into the light shade (for about 6 inches !).
