light has become a light form in itself,
I just love pictures of neon signs like these that in Walking Street,
I took some time ago,
but now things have moved on a pace regarding lighting, in her book Lust for
Light published by Gingko Press, Hannah Stouffer culls the practices of a variety of artists such as Liz West, Miguel Chevalier, James Clar, Jun Hao Ong, and Yayoi Kusama to
present a wide selection of more traditional and daring examples
of light-based work, photograph above by Liz West,

Yayoi Kusama, Liz West has been working for the last year and a half on the 376-page
collection, she was overwhelmed and humbled by the impact of light, while also
fascinated by what it represents, “All of the artists in this book are working
to recreate its likeness, utilize it as a source of their work, and capture the
inspiring glow that it produces,” she continues. “There is both a fascination
and familiarity with this elemental, undeniably appealing form of energy, which
is both tangible and completely uncontainable.” there will be a release party with art installations and projections
at the Ace
Hotel in Los Angeles on October 25th, 2018, and no I am not on commision, I just like the photographs.
