Audi Escape

What is the sound of light? If there is no one to see it, does it still illuminate our dark materials? A vessel plunges into the darkly lit passage, its perfect contours capture pulses of light that emit from the tunnel’s perimeter. They commandeer them into an effect that is spectral and phantom. Apparitional.

But light seeks freedom; it is born from the ephemeral, and this interplay between form and phenomena is temporary. It is a moment in time captured by the speeding frame that carries us between worlds – and then without warning, it is gone.

The best part of collaborating with the Porn Productions crew is the purity the guides the open experimentation during the research phase. Utilizing techniques has always been a huge interest to the team, mostly for the hyper-organic results it produces when displacing and distorting various substrates.

Frequently, the initial research clips always come out pretty kick-ass, and this exercise was no different. Using water and shallow troughs, the team vibrated and rippled it with delightfully pornographic results. Coupled with stark lighting and sharp specular highlights created some deliciously high-contrast displacement studies.
