I am many…

Did I really say that? Peter Rosegger had many faces. He commented, criticized, praised and condemned, only to reject everything he said. He discussed everything, often several times and often contradictorily. But who has a homogeneous world view today? No two people always think the same. No one always remains the same. Because we are […]

Arkestra of Light: parallel

This strange world of my city. A historic place at the heart of the city, where a staircase meets itself like a mirror: Graz Castle. But as darkness falls, a play of colors suddenly illuminates the shapes and figures all around. The orchestration of light turns the exterior space inwards, creating a parallel world of […]

Lumière Tango

It takes 2 to tango! A stage for the light. And you right in the middle of it.

The light installation is transformed into an interactive work of art […]

Silver Ratio

Thoughts of a building. Or: a silver cut. That’s how moving the pictures on my glass walls are. New, made by the rhythm of the sounds. To feel the connection between sound and light, I also let myself be guided by the shape of the house _anonymous. KLANGLICHT 2018 LIA, born in Graz, lives and […]

Scala Lucida

Staircase of light. Where the steps nestle close to the rock. Where the staircase connects height and depth like a bridge. A mosaic of impressions of life is illuminated there – a picture of what was here and what is today. Scala Lucida. Let’s take the time to look at it and to ascend with […]

Art house

The Kunsthaus Graz can be read as a utopian building whose roots go back to the late 1960s and are based on concepts such as living architecture and an intelligent exhibition machine. In its organic-technical form, arteries became mobile roller conveyors; the once transparent façade, which was intended to make the life inside the exhibition […]

FAÇADE LIGHTING: BEST VIEW? FROM THE CASTLE HILL!

At nightfall, the façade of Energie Steiermark AG’s E-Office reflects the calm, powerful flow of energy with gentle, contemplative scenes in the Graz cityscape. The LED façade makes reference to the theme of energy. The concept begins with the rising sun (extension of the day) at around 7.30 p.m. and moves on to rain, waterfall, […]

Illusion
(2019)

Light is an illusion until it meets matter. The perception of color as a manifestation of light is a counterpoint to ideology, whose material existence manifests itself in the actions of an individual. The “Mehr Licht” association, led by artist Ada Kobusiewicz, has set itself the goal of opening up the Schlossbergstollen for light art […]
