I Live In A Lightbox is an ongoing exploration on the phenomenon of light, in all its forms and functions both utilitarian and philosophical. Out of this project will emerge a series of luminous performances that seek to engage the viewer in conversation about the generally held perceptions of how we choose to illuminate ourselves as a society. The broad themes of this project, including over-illumination and light pollution will take on many physical forms throughout the series; Christine Ferriter and the Anatomy Collective will use illuminated objects, installations, activities and performances to lead the discussion on why we’re all afraid of the dark.
The first installment, I Live In A Lightbox: A Preliminary Study, aims to open the discussion to the community by offering three lightbox installations. Each will reflect on the choices we make in lighting our day-to-day activities and is a response to the inevitable sense of detachment and longing that is left when we are no longer relying on the rhythms of the natural world to influence our lives. This preliminary phase of the series is an exercise in research and intends to record and absorb the initial responses of the community into its study.
