Spring 2025 - Collaboration with Talib Leath
This project focuses itself around forming a non-linear, non-narrative film focusing on upcycling in fashion and how Architecture can be designed to accommodate an iterative and adaptive process. The subject of the film is light and how the Architecture interacts with it.
Three lighting conditions became the focus of the film:
- natural light
- artificial lighting
- the absence of light
The film imagines how spaces with these lighting conditions would function and how artisans would work in these varying environments. It also highlights how light interacts with the materials present; affecting the reading and perception of fabrics and the work space in the factory.
Concept Board
The Light Factory aims to embody the upcycling process’s adaptive and iterative nature through the Architecture and film composition; things are flexible and judged on a per-item-basis depending on the surrounding circumstances. The main focus of the project are 3 lighting conditions and 1 architectural element that drives the overall project: natural lighting, artificial lighting, the absence of lighting, and interstitial spaces are what drives the film and the Architecture that serves as the setting.
