EXHIBITION
In-Between Light and Space
In-Between Light and Space is a lighting installation that explores the dialogue between illumination and architectural space. Located in the ground-floor lobby of CMP INSPIRATION, the work draws inspiration from the museum’s architectural concept of “unfolding the earth” and uses “lifting,” “expansion,” and “movement” as its visual vocabulary. Through laser projection, a single point of light gradually stretches into lines and transforms into delicate, shifting waveforms across the wall, echoing the distinctive characteristics of the space it inhabits.
The title “In-Between Light and Space” highlights the installation’s multi-level spatial connotations. On one level, it refers to the physical space between ceiling and floor, where light flows and moves. Simultaneously, positioned between different exhibitions, the work functions as a point of transition and conversation. Furthermore, In-Between Light and Space offers a blurred space for perception and experience—an invitation to explore new possibilities that emerge between artwork and atmosphere. This “in between” becomes a crevice for subtle transformations and new perspectives.
After hours, passersby on Park Lane can catch glimpses of the shifting lights through the museum’s floor-to-ceiling windows, as if the building itself were quietly stirring at night. Inside, visitors are immersed in a space shaped by the interplay of laser light and paneled ceilings and feel the quiet conversation between light and architecture. The installation guides the audience’s viewing experience from multiple perspectives. From outside, light interacts with the building’s framework and surrounding landscape. From within, laser beams sweep between ceiling and wall surfaces, creating a visual effect that is both dynamic and orderly.
This installation also explores the potential of media architecture. As a vessel, it unfolds a narrative of light and shadow that evolves with the seasons and exhibition cycles. Through In-Between Light and Space, space becomes a site of resonance, where light flows and interacts with its architectural context, encouraging the audience to reconsider the connection between design, art, architecture, and nature.
