Overview

Cloud Lamp is a book situated between an art catalogue and a philosophical text. Beginning with the notion of the ""lamp,"" it continually moves away from the definition of objects, unfolding instead a continuum of cloud, qi, and light. Through this transformation, it constructs a new narrative of contemporary visual and spatial experience-one based on instability rather than form. The works revolve around a logic of non-fixed existence: the lamp is no longer a lighting device, the cloud is no longer a natural phenomenon, and qi is no longer merely a traditional Eastern concept, but a structural principle of flow. Combining installation practice, material experimentation, and conceptual art strategies, the book presents suspended luminous forms made of translucent fire-resistant paper, creating a perceptual field between materiality and immateriality. Within this field, light is not ""used"" but generated; space is not a container but a participant in relations. Drawing from the Eastern philosophy of qi, Cloud Lamp translates it into a contemporary artistic language, rethinking existence, boundaries, and becoming. It does not seek to explain the world, but to render it unstable again through perception. This is not a book about works, but a sustained inquiry into states of existence. For contemporary art, it proposes a shift: from object to relation, from form to flow, from completion to continuous becoming.
