S O T A N A K A

Vnsh is a lighting work in which light escapes through a slit in a 5 mm diameter aluminum pipe and illuminates the wall. The slender pipe seems to disappear into the glow it creates.

We associate light with clarity and safety, yet a bright reflection on a river can conceal its depth. This contradiction led us to question how readily we equate illumination with understanding. By reducing the fixture to a barely perceptible line, Vnsh draws attention to the experience of light before the object producing it.
