Boundaries of Smoke

LUCA School of Arts proudly participates in the Lichtfestival in Ghent with this installation by Studio.clapo.

Building walls, labeling ourselves and others, imposing limitations... We excel at these tasks. Yet, when we delve deeper into our minds, searching for the origins of the mental barriers that loom before us, we realize they shrink, sag, and eventually dissolve into nothingness.

Sometimes, it takes just one glance; at other times, it demands great courage to hack away at these boundaries. Experience on this square how mental walls take form through light and smoke. Witness how we can traverse, touch, and even shatter the confines of our minds.

"Boundaries of Smoke" is a interplay of two worlds reflecting and seamlessly merging into one another. I play with the mental barriers that confront me daily. With a blend of light and smoke, I fumble in the dark, probing the boundary between reality and experience. Can we trust our perception, or are those lines truly drawn within our minds?
