Video, 5'-10'

Blacklight explores the conditions of visibility. In the video, a figure paints taut strings that become visible only under ultraviolet illumination, gradually revealing a geometric structure suspended in darkness. The act of painting transforms the unseen into spatial form, positioning the body as both the agent and the medium of perception. Through this process, the work examines how light constructs and limits what can be seen and explores representation, materiality, and presence. Residual pigments scattered across the ground mark the traces of making, suggesting visibility as a temporal and relational state rather than a fixed condition.
