The Light Observer explores light and how artists, photographers, scientists, and more, understand and use light in their work.
Issue 3 from the publisher:
After two issues exploring light in a free and poetic manner, the magazine now look at it through a specific lens.In this issue, light is explored through water. The deep ocean — mysterious and compelling — is where we start, interviewing the oceanographer Séverine Martini about bioluminescent organisms and the role light plays at depths of over 200 metres. This interview is juxtaposed alongside photographs taken by Nicolas Floc’h. The photographer captures the colour of water: blue and green monochromes shot below the surface, which bring to mind the work of Yves Klein, James Turrell or Ann Veronica Janssens. We interviewed the latter about her rich and sensitive relationship with light, and how light and liquids interact with each other. In the archives, we found illustrations by a 19th-century French entomologist depicting bioluminescent creatures, which we then contextualised with today’s information and scientific discoveries. And many more exciting articles!
