'Afterimages of Art, with and through light'
/ Research Through Exhibition by Joanna Filipowska
Human vision was not received as a ready-made, unchanging form; instead, the experiences were subjected to mental analysis and confrontation. Seeing went beyond the passive reception of visual sensations, forming the basis for this exploration within lighting and spatial design. The exhibition served as a research tool, where the built installation assembled various lighting scenarios to create diverse atmospheres.
Titled Afterimages of Art, with and through Light, the installation was designed and structured as a testing procedure. The documented, drawn, and analyzed materials became integral components of the ongoing research. A closer look at the inseparable connection between the awareness of seeing, culture, and science while fostering a shared interest in developing images and visual experiences that could expand human perception beyond conventional forms.

but rather direction us towards awareness of new viewpoints”
