Perhaps you’ve asked yourself, “What am I looking at?”. This is Es werde Licht. It is an installation that embodies the spirit of innovation. Here at the Kunstschule Wandsbek, the “Es werde Licht” project allows students to explore their creativity.
“Es werde Licht” translates to “Let there be light.” This name reflects the project’s core idea. Students design and create their own designer lamps. The light installation is a testament to their skill. They experiment without limits. This fosters unique designs. Each lamp tells a story.
After completion, the lamps are displayed. They are showcased at the Kunstschule Wandsbek. Students and visitors admire the creations. The open house day provides a perfect opportunity. Each year, exceptional pieces emerge. The light installation embodies unique creations.
Consider DRIFT, an artist duo. They created “Breaking Waves” at the Elbphilharmonie Hamburg. Hundreds of illuminated drones danced in the sky. They created a wave of light. DRIFT also presented “Moments of Connection” at the Museum für Kunst und Gewerbe Hamburg.
DRIFT’s “Shylight” features blooming silk flowers. The flowers move gracefully in the museum’s main staircase. “Fragile Future III” uses dandelion seeds and LED lights. Each seed is carefully placed. Copper circuits connect them. “In 20 Steps” mimics a bird’s flight. Computer-synchronized glass wings create the illusion.
DRIFT’s work, like “Es werde Licht”, explores perception. They invite viewers to reconsider their surroundings. The installations play with light, movement, and technology. This creates immersive experiences. Both challenge our understanding of art. They enhance our connection with the environment.
The “Es werde Licht” project shares similarities with DRIFT’s philosophy. Both emphasize creativity and innovation. The students also create unique pieces. The light installation shows the fusion of craftsmanship and design. It underscores the transformative power of light. The installation inspires us to see the world in new ways.
The “Es werde Licht” exhibition allows the students to freely express themselves. This is reflected in every designer lamp. Each creation is a unique work of art. It invites you to discover the beauty of light and design. The exhibition highlights the creativity of young designers. Take a moment to appreciate the skill and imagination.
