“Light Show brings together sculptures and artworks that use light in different ways. The exhibition showcases artworks created since the 1960s. Light is used to sculpt and shape space, creating evocative environments and sensory works that play tricks with the viewer’s perception.

“Color is one of the fundamental elements of our existence, and defines our world in such deep ways that its effects are nearly imperceptible. It intersects the worlds of art, psychology, culture, and more, creating meaning and influencing behavior every step of the way. Most fascinating are the choices we make, both subconsciously and consciously, to use color to impact each other and reflect our internal states. Whether in the micro-sense with the choice of an article of clothing, or the macro-sense where cultures on the whole embrace color trends at the scale of decades, color is a signifier of our motives and deepest feelings.”

Reflective Fractal Buildings by Carsten Witte
Peering into the glass facades of skyscrapers looming ominously overheard can be a bit like gazing into a crystal ball: if you look at it when the light hits it in just the right spot, you might see something that’s usually not there… the future, the fairest maiden of them all, or the eye of Sauron. Carsten’s reflective photography stares back at you, its glass panes contorting reality and the undulating cityscapes surrounding it.
