New temporary exhibition at the Unna Light Art Museum
At Whitsun, the new temporary exhibition “Light-Land-Scapes” opens at the Center for International Light Art (ZfIL) in Unna, Germany. From June 7, 2025 to January 4, 2026, the show will present new perspectives of landscapes as a light-space experience in four rooms. Walk-in places of perception are presented, which are intended to resemble a night-time stroll. The installations interact with their surroundings in the underground vaulted part of the museum, an old brewery, for which they were specially developed.
Installation resembles a forest of lamps
Vertical fluorescent lamps seem to grow out of the floor of the exhibition space. Using different heights, colors and intensities, artist Andreas Schmid creates a visual concert of pulsating light and calls it “Lichtungen”. The brick walls of the vault form a haven of peace to the constantly changing staging and the viewers themselves become part of the artwork.
Floating Horizon – a network of fluorescent threads
Jeongmoon Choi from Korea lards her exhibition space with fluorescent threads that become visible under ultraviolet radiation (black light). For her work “Floating Horizon”, the artist has found ideal conditions here without any daylight at all. The stretched yarn creates an expansive installation that resembles a delicate, almost floating net. In the darkness, the colored lines overlap, new geometric surfaces emerge and the viewer experiences orientation and disorientation at the same time.
A convergence of light and darkness in the color landscape Penumbra
The title of Yoana Tuzharova's installation “Penumbra” means half shade. The third exhibition space contains transitional areas between light and dark, the visible and the hidden. The artist creates labyrinthine spaces from colored surfaces in which the interaction of spectral light and colored shadow plays a central role. With every movement of the visitor, the point of view, perspective and colors change.
The monumental light installation Stream I-III
The light sculpture “Stream I-III” by Atelier Rosalie/Thomas Jürgens, made up of several modular panels, can be seen in the museum's largest single room. It stretches across the entire length of the room. Its light panels are mounted between seven-meter-high pillars and form the digital image of a river. Here, the architecture provides the clear lines of a colored body of water. Inspired by observations of nature and digital data streams, the scenery is constantly changing.
