These complex life forms attract prey by emitting light, so-called bioluminescence. In this case the »prey« is the potential audience, who nearly lose sight of the surrounding billboards and city lights as they flock towards these hypnotic contrasts to the pulsating city life.

scrape uses a colour palette of warm shades of blue, red and green, which originate from the defined raster of neutral light sources of the media canvas. The moving afterimages painted in pure light extend over the orthogonal framework of the façade, providing a view into a stream of liquescent forms and descending gradients. Voluminous black spaces divide and separate the scene into ever-changing, ambiguous sculptural formations. With their constant process of growth and decay into darkness, they seem to exist in flat surface and spatial depth at the same time.
