Euroluce 2023
My interest has been to show some scenarios I had the privilege to see and wanted to put together some objects, lights and modular structures I liked.
These are examples on how Euroluce showed different ways to use in a parsimonious way the electric light and, since the top keyword has been "Sustainability", I will be sustainable with my non-pro profile and spare up-loads from my yet reduced quota, putting 4 photos in the same diptych, a quatropod (or a quadriptych ?)
My compo is entitled "Addy hasn't the Silver, she has the quick Gold on! " and is dedicated to my dear Friend
Addy Van Rooij aka Adriënne.
No need for presentations, I believe almost all know her for her Art and her long lasting volunteer work as Admin of many groups.
I want to dedicate to Addy this work for celebrating a lil project we have in common and our friendship. May we be brightened and enlightened, cheers and blessings!
In this picture:
- left : a large knitted fabric in gold yarns can be wholly illuminated by just a micro light (the silhouhette is not another fabric but the beautiful shadow formed by the gold lighted by this micro light positioned to the left on a long thin black bar).
- Right: a huge ceiling of golden pepitas that I could fit in a small space but, instead, was supended on top of a very large hall. All the pepitas were illuminated by just low voltage deemed micro lights and able to refract and multiply the overall illumination. Sustainable, yes, because not in gold but, probably, made with just crumpled and tinted aluminum film.
And, among asters (or pepitas, lol) and a golden moon, a very strange mystic jewel, precious as handmade, like a little shrine treasuring some drops...of light... (See details by zooming in)
Finally the round and triangular lamp is a truly genial one: just one little light bulb surrounded by a system of mirrors can multiply the light reflection infinitely, lightening a large area by consuming almost nothing. (Spotted at the Exhibition "The Lights of Tomorrow").

Entrance to the remains of this vast Basilica built by Justinian 1st over the tomb of St John. The fact that he was so important in Christian theology, and that his writings echo Greek metaphysics from the Ephesus philosopher Heracltus in Ch 1 of his Gospel, together with the size of the building are indications that it is the right location.
Metaphysical interpretation of clash between Earthly, Divine and the Underworld, or maybe Oriental vs. Western

The Song of Love (also known as Le chant d'amour or Love Song) is a 1914 painting by Italian metaphysical painter Giorgio de Chirico. It is one of the most famous works by Chirico and an early example of the surrealist style, though it was painted ten years before the movement was "founded" by André Breton in 1924.
It depicts an outdoor architectural setting similar to other works by Chirico at this time. This time however, the main focus is a small wall on which is mounted a Greek sculpted head and a surgeon's glove. Below it is a green ball. On the horizon is the outline of a locomotive, an image that recurs several times during this period of Chirico's career.
The metaphysical art movement was created by Chirico and Carlo Carrà, who had previously been a futurist. These paintings would depict Italian city squares that are unnaturally void of people. These city squares would often include a grouping of objects that provide a strange juxtaposition. With these driving elements in his paintings, Chirico created a dreamlike reality that was beyond the physical world. Aspects like the strange grouping of object in The Song of Love is what André Breton and the surrealists looked up to when organizing their movement. The actual art movement only lasted the six months Chirico and Carrà worked together, metaphysical art is the movement associated with all of Chirico's work after 1911.
Chirico presents a bust of a classical sculpture, a rubber ball, and a rubber glove on a canvas in between some buildings with a train passing by in a scene that spurs a sense of confusion. The bust could be a representation of Chirico's love of classical art and a disappearing age. Chirico uses the rubber glove as a mold of a hand that implies the void of human presence. The buildings set up a scene that is reminiscent of the cityscapes of Chirico's past.

' [...] I'm living in a kind of daydream
I'm happy as a king
And foolish though it may seem
To me that's everything'

Linking beauty with love
Beauty will save the world
put a wise teacher in the mouth of an idiot
Beauty transcends aesthetics
Makes us dream and hope
The Self is healed
with the bandage of metaphysical rupture
Moving and connecting
The idea that creates the sculpture
Inseparable from flesh and spirit
Mediating between the two
A paradox that forms the basis
of our dignity and freedom
Yes, maybe I'm sabotaging myself
But beauty makes me tremble back
The spirit kneels before this height
The reasonable is bent by spells
An inner worship to preserve
the sublime vision of the beloved
It connects everything beautiful
under one name
Linking beauty with love

Metaphysics is a dark ocean without shores or lighthouse, strewn with many a philosophic wreck.

Lighting of the Sails: Metamathemagical
For the 10th Anniversary of Vivid Sydney, celebrated Australian Artist Jonathan Zawada will create a site-specific artwork that transforms the Sydney Opera House sails into a series of kinetic digital sculptures.
Jonathan Zawada’s concept for the installation explores metaphysical themes using imagery inspired by the Australian environment.
I know I said I would really be trying not to miss days, but I had a crazy past couple of days, and I have also been working on this piece, which took a lot longer than I was hoping it would. This was the most labor intensive image I have made so far, both the shoot and the edit.
I am going to be in Detroit all day tomorrow for a Tigers game, so I will probably have to do something really simple tomorrow.
Hope you're having a good weekend.
I'm still at home, but today I feel much better: maybe it's because of the sun out of my window, my head this morning looks better fixed on my neck!!!!
So I took this shot looking outside at the house on the other side of the road where I live!
Have a great day you all!!!!

This may be the only photo in my entire flickrstream to have recieved no photoshop treatment of any kind.
This large quartz crystal cluster was displayed for sale at the Globex International Gem & Mineral Show (G.I.G.M.) at Starr Pass and I-10. The pink sticker lists this at 1,910kg. This was our third stop after Tucson Convention Center and Kino Sports Complex.
I believe this is Rose Quartz. Any correction will be appreciated.
Globex International Gem & Mineral Show
Tucson Convention Center is indoors; the exhibits are nicely curated. It is mostly retail type sales. In contrast, the G.I.G.M is housed in the Quality Inn and Motel 6 rooms and parking lots at Starr Pass & I-10. There are some large tents and some smaller 10x10 and 20x10 tents. Many of the gems, minerals, and displays are brought in by forklift on pallets. In the tents, the specimens are in large rectangular plastic containers. At TCC the vendors are retail and many of the gems sell by the gram. At G.I.G.M the vendors are retail and wholesale. Gems and minerals are sold by the pound or by the piece. There is more of a metaphysical feeling at G.I.G.M.

simple.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rose_quartz
Rose quartz is a translucent pink to rose-red variety of quartz.[1][2] It is rarely found as a crystal and is far more common in massive form.
Among gemstones, rose quartz is considered a semiprecious stone that may be used in jewelry. The earliest known use of rose quartz in civilisation was in 7000 BC, where in archaeological sites, researchers have found beads made from Rose Quartz in Egypt and other ancient civilisations. [3]
Rose quartz stones that are nearly transparent are sometimes cut to make flat surfaces called facets, to better reflect light. Rose quartz is also popular in the new age community for perceived metaphysical properties.[4]
