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.”
