Daniel Steegmann Mangrané Lightning Stone (Mountain), 2025

The work belongs to a group of works titled Lightning Stone in which each piece pairs a single LED filament with a stone placed on the floor. The filament rises from the stone’s upper surface toward the ceiling, creating a linear, luminous extension of the object below.

The rocks, moss-covered as if weathered by time, are nicknamed “Mountain,” “Elephant,” “Lion,” and “Dragon” based on their shapes. These sculptural works hint at the animistic notion that all beings inhabiting the universe–from animate and inanimate beings to astronomical phenomena and artificial objects–are imbued with spirits.
