Elsewhat

In artist Jun Ong’s luminous installations, rays of light pierce through concrete, stone, and steel. In his ongoing Stars series features LED strips that intersect with the human-built environment in monumental, illuminated geometries.

Important to note, the above piece is on a former Buddhist temple, hence the iconography.

Though aesthetically very different, I also see echoes in this work of Gordon Matta-Clark‘s geometric works like Conical Intersect, pictured below. Both combine existing architecture with larger geometric shapes.
