The five-meter-high <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/interactive-installation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">installation<\/a> is composed of a spiral of mist and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.designboom.com\/tag\/light-installation\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">light<\/a>, creating an immersive, site-specific environment.<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>The work investigates the interplay of light and atmosphere through a spatial structure that integrates optical and environmental effects. Mist and illumination combine to form shifting visual conditions, placing visitors within an altered perceptual field. The installation references microscopic observations, electromagnetic wave behavior, and atmospheric dynamics, while also addressing themes of transformation and continuity.<\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" bad-src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP\/\/\/yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7\" alt=\"karolina halatek presents large-scale spiral installation of mist and light for lanc\u00f4me\" width=\"818\" height=\"1227\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ie\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/09\/ascent-an-infinite-light-by-karolina-halatek-for-lancome-1-68c8b62b4fce6.jpg\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" lazyload\"\/><br \/>all images courtesy of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.lancome-usa.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Lanc\u00f4me<\/a> unless stated otherwise<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Karolina Halatek\u2019s installation interprets Lanc\u00f4me\u2019s emblem<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Halatek is a <a href=\"https:\/\/karolinahalatek.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Polish visual artist<\/a> whose practice centers on large-scale light installations and immersive environments.
