LIGHT SERIES

My ideas behind recurrences and time derive from my interest in Deleuze and his philosophy of repetition. Deleuze believed that every ‘thing’, whether it be a concept, person, idea or group (he called these subjects ‘machines’), is connected in a rhizomatic structure: each machine is dependent and simultaneously depends on another machine. This is called a flow. There is no beginning and end, simply constant flux. “Destiny never consists of step-by-step deterministic relations between presents... Rather, it implies between successive presents non-localisable connections, actions at a distance, systems of replay, resonance and echoes, objective chances, signs, signals, and roles which transcend spatial locations and temporal successions.” In a world constructed through constant change, we must acknowledge that we live in a world of ‘difference’. If everything is connected through flows, nothing has its own fixed identity. Light is only light because of the absence of the dark; dark is only dark because of the absence of light.
