8 Minutes and 20 Seconds-Marjan van aubel studio

8 Minutes and 20 Seconds

for Marjan van Aubel Studio × Lexus

8 Minutes and 20 Seconds is an immersive installation exploring the journey of sunlight from the sun to Earth — the exact time sunlight takes to reach our planet. Combining solar cells with light and motion sensors, the installation creates an interactive environment that continuously shifts throughout the day and night. Through light, reflection, movement, and sound, the work transforms renewable energy into a sensory and spatial experience.

For this project, I worked on the creative development, graphic compositions, and visual language of the installation as part of the creative team at Marjan van Aubel Studio.
