Lucas Leffler

Crescent is a speculative investigation into this substance, at once scientific and esoteric. Fascinated by the materiality of chemistry and minerals, Leffler reveals silver as a bivalent element, similar to the photographic process, oscillating between science and magic. This metal not only creates images, it is also charged with symbolism. Aware of these aspects, Lucas Leffler explores sites where silver forms naturally under the influence of the moon, reproducing alchemical experiments in silver synthesis using moonlight.
