The word ''Cosmic'' has its origin from the Greek word, ''Cosmos'' (''Kosmos''), literally meaning ''order'' or ''ornament''. It describes the ''World'', as an orderly and harmonious system, opposite to chaos. From the Pythagorean ''theory of the spheres'' to the more contemporary ''theory of the strings'' men strive to give answers to the mechanisms that make the world spinning. We seek for a unification of the microcosmos to the macrocosmos. Like the vibration of the elementary particles of matter at a subatomic level, a pulse is ''transferred'' in the form of lightwaves in the space of a darkened studio. The photographic recording of traces of light in space- time makes this ''universe'' visible. By using the simple technique of lightpainting the photographer participates actively in this interplay between the object (light) and the camera. A time exposure of about 10 seconds has been used to record the passage of light in front of the photographic camera. As there is no other visible point of comparison in the generated image, the forms created by the led light compose a new space of ''cosmic'' size, consisting of orbital light trails and light pathways.
