Light's Own Destruction: 2022
by Nick Knight on 8 July 2022
Explosives ignite into violent beams of light, contained within a plexiglass globe which transforms before the viewer's eyes into a pulsating orb. This celestial installation is relived in a film edited by Raquel Couceiro, with a bespoke soundtrack by Roly Porter, encapsulating the dualities of destruction, from loss to creation.
