Shatter

2020

Fluorescent tubes are the most common light source in urban jungles, replacing natural sunlight and time in modern life. People have grown so accustomed to them that they've almost forgotten how they experience light and where it comes from. It’s only when a tube breaks down that we suddenly notice and pay attention to the failed light source.

This installation, located in a park surrounded by commercial buildings, simulates the moment when a light tube falls from a great height and shatters, with the objects enlarged more than twenty times (or the world shrunk down), allowing viewers to observe the piece from above or walk into the installation, immersing themselves in the ruins of everyday lighting.

Although the tubes appear to be broken, they continue to serve their basic function of illumination, subtly suggesting the numbness modern life has toward light and awakening new possibilities and imaginations of how we experience it. The work takes a humorous approach to confronting the modular experience of light.
