Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#1 | Colour Light Space | Light Installation

Kurt-Laurenz Theinert, Stuttgart

The room works with the basics of colour perception. On the physical side, these are the wavelength of light and the reflection or absorption capacity of the colours used. On the perceptual side, the fact that we always perceive in proportions and are reluctant to change perceptions once they have been set. The light in the room slowly changes its proportions of red, green and blue. Through different colours next to each other, the wall seems to be in motion.

Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm

Location: Forecourt Essen main station
