Liquidation World Gallery
Time based Analog light performance
6 shows
The Laser Bath series is an experiential light and sound performance that offers audiences an immersive journey through light and dark. Designed to facilitate moments of introspection and sensory healing, this experience underscores light’s profound potential to affect well-being.
The gallery is light sealed and the 23 minute fully analog light show is generated live using laser light to magnify and simultaneously melt 35mm film negatives. This recontextualization of a sensitive photographic medium projects ever shifting impressions of texture and organic forms. The following is an excerpt from a larger text which expands on one viewers experience from the Laser Bath performance at Liquidation World gallery (Feb.7th 2023):
“.. This spontaneous switch between creature and chasm is a quantum leap in the gestalt perception of the viewer; a discontiguous state-change that is not qualitative in nature, but is rather a change in formal perception at the most fundamental level. The apprehension of such a radical state-change indicates the presence of a universal creativity. It’s this viewer’s view that Thomas Nugent’s Laser Bath offers an aesthetic experience similar to that of revelatory thought“
