Laurent Monserrat presents a series centered on the movement of light as both a physical and vital force. In Apparitions from the Other-Night, light becomes an active presence, shaping and animating natural landscapes that serve as charged, impermanent spaces. The work reflects on energy, transformation, and the shifting dialogue between the mineral and the immaterial, situating the viewer within a passage from dream into material form. The series also acknowledges the encounter with Minh-Ly, described as an artist whose presence acts as a catalyst for creative expression, bringing universal light into tangible form.
Monserrat describes himself as a photographer drawn to crowds, motion, and expansive maritime spaces, as well as a writer working “in the backlight.” His artistic approach values appeasement, the fixation of the world’s colors, and the creation of visually composed spaces. These elements inform the sensibility of the project and the contemplative tone of the series featured by Edge of Humanity Magazine.
