Mona Hatoum Light Sentence
For Hatoum, space is fundamentally about its relation to the body. As an exile, her cultural space has always been discontinuous, at a point of disjuncture–neither here nor there. Her work has been about negotiating a position for the body within a state of simultaneous presence and absence, a body in conflict with extreme physical and spatial disruption. Light sentence (1992) forms a space which constantly changes as a light moves up and down, casting shifting shadows from steel lockers onto the surfaces of a room.SOURCE: http://www.realtimearts.net/article/issue66/7766

Stephen Shaheen Let's put our heads together
Brooklyn-based sculptor Stephen Shaheen created these mixed media installations to reflect little human bodies with lightbulbs as heads. t features three blue men bent over with their heads collectively in the middle.They are grasping their own power plug while appearing to play a game of rock, paper and sizzors. The outcome of this game is up to speculation.

"So, literally, I took a perfectly good wax sculpture - a piece I had sculpted with precision over several months - an image of a woman meditating in the lotus position, and just dropped it on the floor. I destroyed what I made. I was letting it all go. It was scary. It shattered into so many pieces. My first feeling was, 'What have I done!?!' Then, I trusted it would all come together like I envisioned.
"We cast all the pieces in bronze and assembled the pieces so they floated apart from one another. Then I brought in a lighting specialist and we built a crazy lighting system to make it glow from within. It turned out even better than I thought." Paige Bradley 2011
