ORBIT extends Luke Foley-Martin’s exploration of light and its hidden spectrums. Presented as a series of 10 small-scale projected motion-picture videos, the work studies an abstract object, revealing its form only through the shaping effects of coloured light. Filmed at extreme sensitivity, the rotating light becomes both subject and material, its granular noise uncovering colours at the edge of perception.
Hovering between still life and moving image, ORBIT echoes planetary spectrometry and the transitional states of light. The work draws the viewer into a space where light becomes both landscape and event, moments of transformation suspended at the threshold of vision.
