During development of the performance tank,
Jan captured images for the Quaternary Suite. He
then partnered with Chessa Ferro of GUS Group
Inc. and Duggal Visual Solutions to bring another
element to the exhibition, a collection of eight
LED “light circumferences” with images of the
performers. The frameless, backlit acrylic pieces
required months of fabrication and prototyping
before the final product was delivered, a challenge
that Jan describes rather simply.
“Our world just doesn’t work that well in nothing
but curves,” he told the Creator’s Project.
Despite the degree of difficulty, Jan and Duggal
were able to create flawless spheres of light.
The beauty of Holoscenes is that it mirrors the
underlying complexity of a hot-button issue with
equally complex artistic brilliance.
“Artist Lars Jan has done that rare thing: created
something that feels entirely new,” Los Angeles
Magazine says. “Jan’s goal is not only to create
unforgettable art but to capsize our attention,
before we are literally capsized.”
