Mitchell Fawcett/ Other Worlds

Mitchell Fawcett’s The Journey of Light is an immersive installation that investigates the unseen and intangible through the materiality of light. Drawing from principles of phenomenology, spiritual perception, and environmental resonance, the work creates shifting visual experiences that transcend the physical realm. The submitted photographs are captured moments from within this installation—fleeting instances where refracted projections, mirrors, and suspended elements form luminous entities and landscapes that appear to belong to an alternate dimension.

These light-formed images suggest the presence of something otherworldly—beings or environments that exist in a parallel space just beyond conscious reach. Some appear ghostlike, others celestial, as if revealing hidden energies or ancestral spirits caught in motion. The effect is dreamlike, ethereal, and immersive; each photograph preserves a moment that otherwise disappears in real time, allowing a still reflection of movement, emotion, and unseen realms.

Fawcett’s work is deeply influenced by phenomenology, perception theory, and immersive light artists such as James Turrell and Olafur Eliasson. In The Journey of Light, he expands on these ideas to explore the metaphysical role of art—how it can become a portal to inward and outward exploration. The installation also draws inspiration from psychological tools like the Rorschach test, inviting viewers to project their own meaning onto abstract forms that hover between recognition and ambiguity.
