Cindy Wright’s interest in the object runs parallel to the research conducted by D&A Lab. Both are intrigued
by the specific nature of decay, how an object individualises during the course of time, or to what extent a work of art can and may wear out. In Japanese culture, this is even one of the defining elements of the creative process, which they refer to as ‘Wabi Sabi’.
By burning holes in the curtain with a laser, Wright actually applies a negative painting approach to light;
by removing material, she adds something extra, namely control over the incoming light.
The functionality of the curtain is split in two: the curtain both obscures and lets light through in a specific pattern.
