Laniatus + Watergram

Exhibited:

2024-25, solo exhibition, Kresija gallery, Ljubljana, Slovenia

 

Laniatus explores the relationship between sound, light, and the surface of water. A thin layer of water rests on mirrors and is set into subtle continuous vibration by transducers. These small ripples refract and reflect light, casting shifting, ephemeral patterns into the surrounding space. The work creates a circular relation between media: sound shapes water, water bends light, and light draws temporary forms in space and time. Rather than treating water as image or symbol, the installation approaches it as an active material presence whose movement directly generates the visual experience. Laniatus invites a heightened perception of almost imperceptible changes, where vibration, reflection, and resonance become carriers of spatial atmosphere.

Watergrams is a series of unique analogue photographic works created through the direct interaction of water, light, and photosensitive material. Made in the darkroom without a camera or lens, the images emerge as photochemical traces of light refracted through water onto photographic paper. Here, water is not simply the subject of the image, but an active element in its formation. The works do not rely on framing or representation, but on a direct material process in which light, movement, time, and water leave their imprint on the surface. The resulting images are abstract, fluid, and atmospheric, revealing photography in one of its most elemental forms.
