Light Fields – Abstract Light Photography

In Light Fields, Dan Gazit explores abstract photography through the behavior of laser light as it interacts with irregular surfaces. Rather than treating light as a stable or uniform entity, the series presents it as a dynamic phenomenon shaped by changing physical conditions.

A laser beam, green or red, encounters textured surfaces and breaks into complex systems of scattering, reflection, and refraction. The surface acts as an active agent, distorting and splitting the beam to generate unpredictable optical patterns.

What emerges is not the documentation of an object, but the transient formation of luminous structures—dynamic light fields in continuous transformation. These images can be read both as optical phenomena and as autonomous, almost organic entities.

Positioned between scientific observation and visual abstraction, the photographs reveal light as an active force, exposing its behavior rather than merely capturing its appearance.
