Transient Luminous is a new body of paintings and videoworks arising from a residency at ateliergemeinshaft Milchhof e.V., Berlin in 2011.
Ausstellung 29.09. - 19.10.2012

The videowork explores and transforms diverse light forms moving in the studio at Milchhof which are, at times, elusive, mysterious and abstract. These fugitive forms, mapped over the course of 7 months, are suggestive of fleeting thoughts, spaces of illumination and the ephemeral. The light oscillates and moves registering on different levels of conscious/psychic recognition whilst creating strange spatial and temporal possibilities. The paintings also unfold around this engagement with the illumination of ideas through a decisive moment (der Augenblick) and its status of being as transient yet full of potential and significance.
