Light not only makes objects visible, but also reveals what is otherwise unseen.
This exhibition seeks to construct a field of “visibility” through the flow, refraction, and transformation between light and images. The works reproduce the world through imagery, while allowing the world itself to emerge: photons are converted into signals by photosensitive elements, invisible air currents become materialized, and skies at opposite sides of the earth are juxtaposed in the same moment; stardust drifts with shifting air currents.
In Dust 002, Wu-Chi Tsung uses a telescope to observe dust as it floats through space, simultaneously streaming the reflection of the circulation of dust particles against a backdrop to resemble twinkling stars. The movement of the audience changes the airflow, disturbing the flow of the dust. Each time an audience member enters, the projected image changes, and when the dust finally settles down, the viewer is immersed in stardust. Initially created during Wu Chi-Tsung's 2006 residencies in the UK, the work has since also been exhibited in Germany, Luxembourg, Switzerland, the USA and the UAE. Most recently Dust 002 was presented at Noor Riyadh in 2025, the world's largest Light Art festival.
