Liquid Light Project

(DE)light is a project that reinterprets the concept of light as we
know it. We can pour illuminated liquid from archetypical components
like a lightbulb. The project challenges the way we use lighting and
displayed and controlled.

Designer introduced: My first lamp explores the greatest metaphorical
potential of my project by presenting liquid light in its most pure
state: as a liquid contained in a bottle that can be manipulated as
liquids normally are. Along with this bottle, I have created a set of
two glasses that represent a lamp and a bulb – see pictures on the
right. By pouring the liquid light into the glasses, the object meaning
is given to the light – two new lamps have been created. However, the
liquid remaining in the bottle reminds you of its intangible essence –
there is no need of a lamp in order to have light. Light remains
unattached to an object and able to be placed in any imagined context.
I have used the quotidian gesture of pouring as a way to attach, or
detach, light to its archetypes.
