Take hold lightly, let go lightly
Pavitra Wickramasinghe
Installation
In this kinetic installation, the lighting animates paper planes carefully crafted by the artist.
They have been engraved with a laser, resulting in lace like objects letting light through. The artist thus gives shape to light, and in the dark, puts the viewer at the heart of the installation. A simple, light and poetical artwork.

Artist
Pavitra Wickramasinghe (CAN)
Pavitra Wickramasinghe is an artist living and working in Montreal. She works with different mediums and is interested in the conventions of gaze and in new ways of perceiving the moving image. Her current work explores travel, the fluidity of places, and memory. She uses light and shadow as extensions of the projected image to create installations whereby the beholder occupies a cinematographic space within the work, rather than looking at it from the outside.
