Aluminium Labyrinth Rod-Block IX Light Sculpture from early light

About This Piece

Contemporary Design

Indirect light, back light and reflections change the sculpture itself - shadowy contours, clear light edges and surfaces can be combined in countless variations to create a labyrinth of light.

Unlit, the light surfaces cast seamlessly into the manually processed surface using various techniques to form an archaic, labyrinth-like sculpture.

These works were inspired by the 'early light' - the flat backlight with its shadowy crack-like backlighting and the translucency of the objects in the foreground. In the course of the day, weak, shadowy light slits become hard contours; light, back light, and shadows change form, shape, and mood. Each sculpture is handmade, signed, and numbered. The surfaces are also manually processed and thus have slightly different structures, characteristics, and color nuances, even within editions. The lights - LEDs of different types - can be exchanged for all sculptures. The operating time of the LEDs is up to 50,000 hours (compared to a light bulb: 1,000 hours).

The objects are generally only equipped with dimmers as on-off switches - a standard cord switch can also be fitted on request. It is however recommended to use switchable radio sockets, since they allow you to maintain the favoured light setting unchanged without having to use the unfortunately quite unsightly standardized cord switches.

The LEDs are dimmable in 2 groups.
