Last week I went to London to help my friend Jingjing Han to hold his first exhibition. The painter is a Chinese artist named Luo Qing. The exhibition was hold in the basement of a church, which is matched for its scheme: life, death, ideal and reality.
I like this exhibiton very much and during these days, I have learned a lot of things. This is the first time I participated in stage lighting design work, which is similar to my project and inspires me a lot.
Amazing dancing at the beginning of the exhibition
The designer is a nice girl graduated from Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design. Since the area is not too big and the audience could be close to the stage, she just uses three lights for illuminating, one is top lighting and the others are side lightings faced each other. The top light has a relative small illuminating range which could express people's contradictions and constraints status, like something bounded in a limited area. However, the two side lights could shape dancer's body strongly, expressing the conflict between their strong heart and weak response. On the other way, side lights allow dancer moving in a big area to some extent.
The performance is combined with the video on the screen to heighten the atmosphere, which reveals the contradictory between ideal and reality. So the intensity of lights are low to make sure the screen is clearly enough for the audience.
