growing lampshades by peter kraft
this installation deals with the issue of light creation through a visual process by deforming and stripping away its form.
lamps after the growing process
when nature illuminates the darkness, it is not done by a simple click. natural light comes into being by a visual process. it is not only helping you to see well, it is an experience and affects your mood. this project deals with the issue of light creation. the light and the heat generated thereby create the lampshade as a visible act of deformation.
on show at the lambrate, milan 2012. concept & design by peter kraft with the support of moritz fuhrmann jochen maria weber & julian eich reuter.
