Path of Oblique Light

Path of Oblique Light emerges from the poetics of tunnels, yet transcends the framework of architectural photography. The work captures a single shaft of light cutting diagonally across a tunnel, merging rigid geometry with lyrical illumination to create a space suspended between reality and illusion. The oblique beam suggests both a passage into the unknown and a fracture of time, inviting the viewer to reconsider their position within the play of light and shadow. The essence of this work lies not in the architectural function of the tunnel but in how light transforms into an event of perception. It challenges the notion of photography as mere representation, reimagining the tunnel as a stage of experimental vision. Here, the familiar becomes estranged: the tunnel ceases to be a space of transit and instead becomes a symbolic theater where light itself performs. Through this transformation, Path of Oblique Light proposes photography as a medium of experimentation and reflection, one that unsettles habitual seeing and reveals the metaphoric power hidden within the everyday.
