Monika Drápalová Corpus Lucis

How do you wear something weightless and capture the light that slips through our fingers?

The kinetic installation Corpus Lucis balances on the fragile line between matter and absence. Translucent garment-like forms levitate in space, capturing fleeting moments through constant motion. The garment, traditionally viewed as a solid shield for the human body, transforms here into a transparent, ultra-light membrane of silk organza, stripped of all weight. Exposed mechanics create a raw contrast to the textile’s ethereal delicacy. With every rotation and every shift in light, the garment is reborn again and again..

A physical testament to the transience of the present moment, existing only here and now.
