Luciférine is a sculptural sound performance featuring bioluminescent bacteria. In darkness, living light flows through a glass sculpture-instrument, shaping a chimerical form and generating sound through sensors. The work offers an immersive, multisensory encounter with microscopic marine life linked to the origins of life on Earth.
