Luminous Self Portrait

Phosphor
Focused rays of ultraviolet light paint temporary landscapes on a layer of phosphorous dust on the museum floor. Operating on concepts of erosion and mutation, the installation changes its behaviour and visual appearance during the exhibition period. Each trace of light leaves a mark on a virtual mountain range, like water slowly washing out deep canyons. With a little help from alchemy and quantum physics, matter acquired a memory: translating time into space

Anrealage
Kunihiko Morinaga, la directora creativa de la marca japonesa de culto Anrealage, siente algo por las sensaciones y las ilusiones ópticas. Su show debut en París la temporada pasada fue sobre luces y sombras. Hoy, su salida de segundo año se centró en la luz y la oscuridad. O, mejor, en las impresiones que obtiene al parpadear o proyectar luz en tono negro. Las siluetas escultóricas de Anrealage se cortaron en una tela negra especial que revelaba una textura impresa solo bajo luces ultravioleta, o tenían círculos blancos perforados con agujas, como la proyección de un foco, salpicados en el frente. Para enfatizar la profundidad de tal oscuridad, todo era negro, incluidos los rostros de las modelos, un trazo fuerte que hacía las cosas un poco demasiado dramáticas.

Three-Dimensional UV Thread Installations
El artista Jeongmoon Choi utiliza la luz y el hilo para crear instalaciones que juegan con los aspectos de la perspectiva y la ilusión. Con reminiscencias de algo producido en un espectáculo de luces láser, sus campos tridimensionales formados por líneas lumínicas, están instalados en un espacio ultravioleta para crear entornos interactivos.

Anrealage

Kunihiko Morinaga, the creative director of cult Japanese label Anrealage, has a thing for sensations and optical illusions. His debut Paris show last season was about light and shadow. Today, his sophomore outing focused on light and dark. Or, better, on the impressions you get from flashing or projecting light in pitch black. The Anrealage sculptural silhouettes were cut in a special black fabric that revealed a printed texture only under ultraviolet lights, or had needle-punched white circles—like a spotlight projection—splattered across the front. To emphasize the depth of such darkness, everything was black, including models’ faces, a heavy stroke that made things a little too dramatic.

Sunburn Ultraviolet Archetypes

For Citarella, objects are sites of dissimulation, never quite what they seem. When taken as a whole, aspects of his solo debut can appear overly oblique, but his work has a refreshing lack of archness that stands in contrast to that of many of his so-called post-Internet contemporaries. Instead, Citarella seems fully committed to the pristine surfaces made possible by modern technology, discovering there a kind of transcendent blankness bordering on the spiritual.
