逢年过节时的张灯结彩乃是传统。中国过年的灯会历史悠久。西方圣诞节也会出现很多灯光装置,比如艺术家Brut Deluxe在德国柏林安装的三个
临时灯光装置。一个是直径7.5米的巨大光盘,另一个是五个巨大的三维立方体,还有一个是如同灌木般的灯光丛林。 Three light installations were realised on Kurfürstendamm: the first, a huge light dome with a diameter of 7,5m, at Joachimstaler Platz, the
second consisting of five big three-dimensional light cubes at the crossing with Uhlandstrasse, and the third, an artificial lanscape build of 50
light shrubs, at the crossing with Knesebeckstrasse.
艺术家通过这些灯光装置实现节日的氛围,同时避免了典型符号的运用。人们经历灯光装置的空间,在这个已成为城市场所的一部分的灯光森林中休憩与想象。灯光的密度和造型随着人的位置和角度而不同。抽象化的灯光装置给人们带来了依旧浓郁的节日情愫。 What all three installations have in common is that we want to achieve an atmospheric effect with them. Rather than typical decorations that
represent Christmas through objects or symbols that are contemplated from the outside, we want to create a space that can be entered and
experienced. We imagine this artificial space in the city as a place of retreat, similar to an imaginary clearance in a forest. The atmosphere
surrounding the spectator is produced only with light that alters its density and intensity constantly through the visitor’s movement and changing
perspective. The realised landscapes of light are inspired by images and situations recalled from our memory that we associate with Christmas
and abstractly convert to light.
