Inspired by the Vancouver Biennale’s 2014 – 2016 exhibition themed Open Borders/Crossroads Vancouver, Luckhurst drew engagement and discussion by presenting three large-scale interventions. Working with the mediums of photography and projection, Luckhurst translated geometric forms into large scale constructions that explored his interests in the perception of space, objects and environment.
