IN LUCEM, 2019 Tamar Frank (The Netherlands)


In Lucem is a series of 20 small light panels, four of which were on display, illustrating a seemingly still image with a central focus that gradually blends into diff erent colour compositions. The colour gradients are inspired by the changes in natural light over the course of one day and alter so slowly that the transition is imperceptible. The artwork plays on the relationship between the juxtaposition of colours, and how they are seen by the eye and perceived by the brain. The central focus invites the spectator to slow down and allow the light to draw the viewer in. The diff usion of the image does not allow the eye to focus. As a result, the image appears to pulsate and float.


Frank graduated in fine arts/


monumental design in 1997 from the Fine Arts Academy in Maastricht. Using light as a medium began during her studies and she presented her first light installations at her graduation show.

After completing her studies, she established Lightspace. Within a year, she received her first public art commission to make a light artwork for a tunnel in Hoorn in the north-west Netherlands. With a focus on public space and light, Frank has been commissioned nationally and internationally, and in 2019 published a retrospective of her work from 1997–2017, Lightspace 20 years Tamar Frank. lightspace.org


OFF GRID SERIES, 2022 Jacqueline Hen (Germany)


Jacqueline Hen is an artist and spatial designer working on large-scale performative installations and environments. She examines how social media influences our perception and interaction with physical space. Her Off Grid installation investigates the perception of the body in digital space. Mirrors are combined with an arrangement of lights to create the illusion of an infinite space of luminosity and darkness. The perception of this space changes with the viewers’ perspective, inviting them to investigate themselves within infinity. She was awarded the International Light Art Award 2019 for her work Light High. She is currently teaching design as an assistant professor at the Academy of Media Arts Cologne (KHM).
