A lightbox is a glowing image, it's an object, and an installation also. It's an image that first gives all the energy of light and only thereafter forms as a semiotic image. I have been interested for a while in the secrets of semiotics, the science searching for the rules of signs and images. Semiotics is about the how, what and why and to whom the image speaks and to whom it is not understandable.
Stalin for example is a very powerful sign; his face immediately creates strong emotions, but surely very different ones to a Georgian viewer, to a Polish viewer, to a German or to a Chinese. His face mostly looks calm and settled, with an inner strength of character, sometimes friendly and warm -- but his legacy and his deeds are not visible. But how does a painted portrait of Stalin speak to us? What changes are there made, intentionally or unintentionally, by the painter? Into what has this object changed, that formerly was an "objective" portrait?
I like the words in Twin Peaks series: "The owls are not what they seem." I believe in the mystery we can create with images and in the stream of mystic reality we are living in our time every day. I'd like to see the lightboxes as mystic metaphors that change over time in meaning and understanding.
As I was walking around the engine hall at the Tate Modern I noticed how the sun was lighting up one of the 'lightboxes'. I liked the way it was streaking it in stripes. Unfortunatly as I prepared to take the shot the sun faded a bit and never really came back. Still quite like the interplay of horizontal and vertical lines and light and dark (the way the light fades towards the ceiling!).
The pit for the new home of the Toronto International Film Festival, the Bell Lightbox Film Festival Building and Condo.
That lightbox has 5 layers, no space between layers, yellow 5050 led strip around the perimeter. Laser-cutted layers. Picture taken from internet cn.best-wallpaper.net/wallpaper/1680x1050/1710/Bottle-bar...
After discovering & creating my first paper lightboxes I started to make them with laser cutting. Lightboxes with hand-cutting are good & more nice-looking. But laser cutting is faster & more accurate than my cutting skill. Anyway, laser cutting has its minus. It is fire marks on the edges of the picture's lines. You know it & can't do anything with it
Nowadays I create lightboxes this way - I draw the picture above the original photo in computer program. Than I give it to the people with laser-cutting machine & make the lightbox's frame. Finally comes the assembly and lightbox is completed
