Elastika Lumia transforms The Moore’s atrium into light and motion
Artist Lachlan Turczan has created an immersive installation that responds to visitors moving beneath its four storey expanse, a dialogue between architecture, perception and the ephemeral play of light.

Lachlan Turczan’s Elastika Lumia unfolds across The Moore’s four storey atrium during Miami Art Week, a symphony of light, water and sound that choreographs itself according to the presence of those beneath it. The installation conceives itself in dialogue with Zaha Hadid’s iconic Elastika, borrowing visual language while creating something distinctly alive, responsive and kinetic.
As visitors move through the space, the installation shifts and awakens around them. Vertical beams of light refract through planes of water, refracting into prisms of blue, cyan and white that pool across the atrium’s architectural planes. The effect is one of immersion rather than observation: the boundary between viewer and artwork dissolves entirely. Sound threads through the installation, completing a sensory experience that transforms a passage through the building into something ceremonial.
The Moore’s atrium, already a striking vertical void, becomes the canvas for this dialogue between art, architecture and movement. The installation demands nothing of visitors save their presence and motion, yet rewards attention with constantly shifting compositions of refracted light and flowing water. Each angle offers a new configuration; each moment differs from the last.
Elastika Lumia runs from December 1 to 6 at The Moore Miami, anchoring a week of exhibitions, conversations and cultural gatherings across the venue.
