HC Gilje’s Radiant is an audiovisual work comprising a white laser beam moving over a large surface covered with phosphorescent pigment. The laser draws lines and curves that are only visible for a short moment before disappearing. But the beams of light leave traces: the light-capturing phosphorescent pigment emits a slowly fading green shimmer, and the simple visual forms that result from the short bursts of light projection are layered into a constantly evolving web of green shimmering lines.

The premiere of Radiant was presented at Paradiso, Amsterdam, as part of Sonic Acts Festival 2019.
Commissioned by Sonic Acts.
