Darkness swallows the world around us. A room without light, without shadows and colours is unsettling. The almost completely dark exhibition rooms at the Centre for International Light Art envelop the guests, allowing the art installations of the exhibition ¡DARK! to become discernible only after a short period of acclimatisation. The installations by Anthony McCall, Diana Ramaekers, Regine Schumann, and Vera Röhm create „surfaces of light“.
The exhibition concept includes visitors being able to step into or walk through each installation. They interact with the works of art, thus becoming a part of them.
The co-exhibition DARK II analyses and interprets the term “dark” in a different, unexpected way. Here, darkness is to be found in a human’s soul, in the metaphorical play of light and shadows, visible and invisible. Galerie m Bochum as guest curator presents the photography series The Omega Suites by US photographer Lucinda Devlin. For more information, please visit lichtkunst-unna.de.
