Lightscape
LIGHT UP LANCASTER 2019
Castle Courtyard | Lancaster | UK
“In the search for time, planets move in circles, from dusk till dawn; any difference disappears through the blossom,thus revealing the birth of a new cycle of life.”
Seven moons rise upon the sky, each orbit marking the birth of a new cycle, each trajectory painting different layouts. A sacred geometry unfolds, interconnecting everything with the source.
“Lightscape” embarks on a cosmic odyssey inspired by the rhythmic motion of moon phases, a planetary dance echoing cyclical time. In commemoration of the 50ᵗʰ anniversary of the Moon Landing, the “Light Up Lancaster” festival invites visitors on a journey through celestial elements.
Immersed in the enchanting ambience of the Castle Courtyard, the audience is guided through an immersive forest that shimmers on its walls. The experience is accompanied by a choral piece that echoes the passage of time, expressed through cinematic language and a series of generative compositions.
The digital canvas undergoes continuous renewal, unveiling a vibrant tapestry of ever-shifting colours and shades before the viewer’s eyes. Enhanced by sonic sequencing interwoven with volumetric fog, this ephemeral landscape illuminates the path towards universal totality.
"In all known planetary systems, natural satellites occur in a restricted dynamical phase space: planets orbit stars and moons orbit planets.
it is natural to ask, can moons have their own stable satellites,
can a moon have its own submoon? ”
BEYOND THE URBAN SPACE
“Lightscape” is an intimate piece that captures the essence of transformation. Set within the mediaeval ambience of the structure, it offers a timeless, multi-layered experience that resonates within the brightest and darkest regions of the soul. Drawing the audience into a fictional night ride from dusk to dawn, the piece celebrates the enduring spirit of Lancaster’s Castle. In this narrative, the legendary prison becomes a beacon of radiant hope in the heart of the old city.
