Projection installation by Detlef Hartung and Georg Trenz plays with light, obstruction and shadow with a form which doesn’t completely disappear - video embedded below:
The neologism LIGHTSCAPE means the total light situation, the distribution pattern of light on an image. This artificial word that is often used as a product name for branded products (perfume, porcelain), in the lamp and lighting industry, photo art as well as computer animation, gradually becomes the keyword for light art and projection in public space.
The term ILLUSION derives from the Latin word illudere, a composition of the verb ludere (play) and the local preposition in. Its meaning ranges from throwing into the game to play games with sb. up to intellectual game.
The work LIGHTSCAPE – ILLUSION goes in for a visualized intellectual game about light as the source and basis of our visiual perception and reflects about the illusion of seeing. Formally starting point is the projected, set up serially in circled type term LIGHTSCAPE. The resulting disc and sphere typographies suggest perspective and three-dimensionality and provide lighting landscapes with different connotations.
Light as a concept, as a phenomenon and medium is formally set in relation to associations such as kaleidoscope, rose window, globe, sun, iris, eye, atom, nucleus etc. and to the symbolic power of point, circle and sphere.
The special technique of two congruent superimposed projections includes the viewer and his shadow into the apparent three-dimensionalty of the projection and makes it part of the work.
