Light Artist Takahiro Matsuo Wins "Entertainment Lighting Design of the Year" at LIT Lighting Design Awards 2024 for "The Creation"

Tokyo, Japan, 2025-01-06 - 

“The Creation”, a light installation by artist Takahiro Matsuo, recently won the "Design of the Year” top award in Entertainment Lighting Design at LIT LIGHTING DESIGN AWARDS 2024.


"The Creation"

This spectacular installation features light, shapes, and sound. It is composed of three scenes: "Birth," "Shine," and "Vortex."

The dynamic phenomena created by the intense clustering of lights evoke the origins of the "universe and nature", while simultaneously capturing the immense creativity of "human beings" who construct artificial structures and exhibit a powerful burst of creative energy. This unique spatial art is visualized through light and objects.

The design was initially conceived using digital computer graphics and physical simulations to create a galaxy-like density of dots. Along the 3D coordinate positions, approximately 20,000 acrylic spheres of varying sizes, both transparent and translucent, were positioned. Twelve projection units surrounding the spheres generate numerous light clusters that flicker and transform intensely, sometimes merging into a massive light formation.

The structure consists of extremely thin wires that hold the spheres close together, minimizing the shadows cast by the wires. This cable-less structure gives an overwhelming impression of floating light. Moreover, by projecting images from all directions, the texture, color gradations, and seamless flickering of the light are achieved in a manner unattainable with LED or laser projection.


“The Creation” is a permanent artwork at Ui ART Center, a contemporary art museum in Suzhou, China.
