The Path of The Sword

The Path of the Sword’ is a journey that begins at inspiration to arrive at the realization of an idea. To those who are setting out on this adventure it offers a glimpse at the a few of the previous collaborations of Moritz Waldemeyer with some of the most important names in design, including Zaha Hadid, Fredrickson Stallard and Philippe Starck. The metamorphosis of each of these projects through photography has augmented Moritz’s original idea: en- chantingly abstract forms have emerged, as though every LED of the original installation were a brush full of color and the film a canvas to be painted. Moritz starts from this concept and expresses it through the agility and grace of martial arts. Swords “studded” with LED lights move as though they were choreographed in the hands of martial arts masters that project a flow of visible forms to the public and to the photographic film through the persis- tence of the images in the human eye and thanks to the photos taken with long exposure times.
