Light can behave both as a medium and as a structure. Developed during a residency at the bureau by light and media artist James Clar, the project explores how colour, geometry and illumination can generate a perceptual space rather than a fixed image. A triangular form acts as a simple framework through which light unfolds, producing a field of shifting chromatic gradients.
The installation is constructed from LED light sources, backlight filters and 3D-printed connections, defining a precise geometric structure. Three illuminated segments operate simultaneously as structure and image. Their orientation in space produces a continuous transformation of colour, moving across the spectrum as the eye travels along the edges of the form. The work relates to a colour spectrum diagram, where a triangular geometry maps wavelengths within a defined range.
For the bureau, the project offered an opportunity to observe how light can be approached as a material in its own right. Emerging within a context of exchange between disciplines, the work reflects a broader interest in how minimal structures can generate complex perceptual effects, where colour, technology and spatial perception converge into a single visual field.
