The use of laser light in the process of holography led to Schreiber’s use of lasers as sculpture and a fundamental understanding of light.

Schreiber takes a given volume of space and begins by measuring it and dividing it into symmetrical segments. The dimensions of the room dictate a structure built to mount hundreds of lasers. The lasers visually plumb the space with light and atmospheric haze resulting in geometric patterns that change as viewers move within the sculpture.

As with all of Schreiber’s laser sculpture work, the pieces do not animate, have no sound, and no computer control. They are completely static sculptures.
