Not quite your average Christmas lights display, Japanese artist Makoto Tojiki takes lighting displays to another level by creating these amazing holographic sculptures.
His "No Shadow" series, animal and human sculptures made from hanging strands of LED lights, shows how the interconnectedness of shadows and light can be controlled and manipulated to create these emotion-evoking illusions.
Makoto Tojiki, a 1998 industrial design engineering graduate of Kinki University, uses light as his primary medium of expression. Whilst being employed as an industrial designer, he devoted his personal time to experimenting with light, starting his creative process by breaking down the light and the shadow to capture the essence of their symbiosis resulting in fleeting images that are as ephemeral and enigmatic as shadow itself.
