Über Licht sprechen wollen / Longing to talk about light
Longing to talk about Light brings together works that emerge from and dissolve into one another.
In the beginning there’s repetition and rhythm: countless matchsticks embedded in wax create wall objects (That will be). These are then set on fire and destroyed, morphed in a way, giving rise to new works (That was). Video works document the fleeting, intangible moment of ignition, the burning, and the intuitive extinguishing. Traces and remnants mark the surface, formed partly by chance (It flickers cheerfully, crackles loudly).
Working with fire means taking that chance, that risk – and following it into surrender, release, and trust.
