Mehr Licht
SPATIAL LIGHT & SOUND INSTALLATION
What happens when light doesn’t just illuminate, but absorbs you completely?
Mehr Licht was conceived as a two-part immersive installation – an exploration of perception, space and energy through light, sound and spatial transformation. Created for the Emsdettener Kunstverein, it unfolded across two distinct but interconnected rooms – two movements within one atmospheric composition.
In the first room: a walkable labyrinth made of transparent, illuminated panels. These structures were only visible when lit – vanishing into transparency when dark. Light became the architecture, shaping and reshaping the space in a slow, rhythmic choreography. With each change in illumination, the labyrinth dissolved and reemerged in a different constellation. A spatial sound collage added a second sensory layer – subtle, pulsating, immersive. The visitors didn’t just observe the installation; they became part of it. Inside a shifting universe of presence and disappearance.
The second room offered a counterpoint: a floating transparent cube, suspended from the ceiling, built from multiple layers of translucent material. The same lighting patterns as in the labyrinth appeared here – but condensed, layered, bundled into a single spatial object. Like a star forming in the universe, light accumulated and concentrated. What was previously expansive and walkable now became an externalized focus – a radiant, floating core of perception.
Mehr Licht was not an exhibition in the traditional sense. It was a spatial state – a moment of immersion between structure and dissolution, clarity and confusion, architecture and energy.
