Lightscape is a captivating, hallucinatory portrait of the contemporary world, addressing a future hovering on the horizon. Accelerating through the diverse landscapes of the American West Coast like a sinuous, lucid dream the narrative seamlessly flows from character to character almost entirely without language or conventional dramatic structure. Instead, we move through an unpredictable series of interconnected encounters always driven by sound and music. The characters of Lightscape are in constant motion, navigating a wild, beautiful and at times, haunting modern world.

In Doug Aitken’s cinemascope-like, walk-in, multi-sectioned, video installation, the public is transported into the atmosphere of an airport by night.

The images in migration (empire) are underscored by the constant sound of running or dripping water.
