Laurent Bolognini is a matterless sculptor. His body of work stems from Optical Art initiated at the turn of the XXth century by Marcel Duchamps and further developped by Julio Le Parc. Working with light, the sculptures sway between reverie and technology in order to question the reality of human condition. Creating persistence of vision effects the twirling lights create evocative and poetical imprinted shapes on the eye’s retina. The artist hence creates a new pictorial matter between sculpture and light choreography.
After studying at the “Societé Française de Photographie” Laurent Bolognini launched his career as a light designer conceiving his first luminous backdrop for musical circles and legendary opera. Inspired by Kinetic art movement, Bolognini extended his range of exploration. He conceived and realized his first “Galiléographe”(device of impression of luminous line (s), patent INPI note FR2803771) in 1998. The year 2000 was the starting point of a long adventure, involving two different types of partnerships, some being the interweaving of his plastic work with the performing arts, the other with the musical world. The outcome of this approach was to become the substance of further exhibitions and performances.
