‘X-light Mini’ is a sculptural lamp derived from the original ‘X-light’, which was showcased at the ‘AXYZ’ exhibition. This more compact version continues the exploration of the concept of space-time while adopting a more accessible form.

The sculpture is composed of raw materials: a prefabricated concrete block as the base, two one-way mirror plates, and a LED neon tube. Its vertical silhouette is reminiscent of a totem. Initially perceived as a minimalist structure, it reveals, upon closer inspection, an infinite corridor of luminous tubes. This phenomenon is created by the multiple reflections of the mirrors, which capture and return the light from the neon, generating an illusion of infinite depth.

This visual effect relies on human perception. ‘X-light Mini’ plays with repetition and light to question our relationship with space-time. It blends tangible reality with subjective perception. The luminous object symbolizes the immobility of time through its physicality. However, its integration into a confined environment, surrounded by reflective surfaces, creates a sensation of spatial and temporal stretching. The viewer is immersed in an experience where the boundaries between real space and illusion blur.

In addition to its depth effect, the sculpture generates light and shadow play that unfolds all around it. The reflections of the luminous tubes create bands of light that intersect within the surrounding space. X-shaped patterns emerge, inspiring the title of the piece. ‘X-light Mini’ thus establishes a constant dialogue between space, time, and light, prompting the viewer to reconsider their perceptual habits.
