LUX captures the beauty of the artificial light that emanates from the earth’s surface and the complexity of what this light represents. Made between 2005 and 2010, and titled after the unit for measuring illumination, the project focuses on light produced by the most brightly illuminated regions on NASA maps of the earth at night. LUX draws up questions about our increasingly complicated relationship with the planet that include reconciling with the ramifications of our consumption as well as how we might use the same ingenuity (that led to the invention of man-made light) in order to live in better balance with the natural world.
