Light, colour and movement enter into a multi-layered dialogue in “Spheres” by Miriam Prantl. Four intertwined, powder-coated steel rings form a floating sphere whose programmed LED light lines create an iridescent glow during the day and choreographed colour gradients at night. The points of light pulsate in opposite directions and create flowing rhythms in the room. The immersive sculpture reacts to the movement of the viewer and thus influences individual perception. This creates an energetic field in which space and time, body and light interpenetrate in a poetic way.
The Austrian artist Miriam Prantl understands light not only as a medium, but also as an immaterial force that structures space and makes it vibrate. Her work aims to interweave aesthetic and physical spaces of experience. “Spheres” invites us to immerse ourselves in the quiet dimensions of frequency, colour and movement – and to perceive our surroundings with a new sensitivity.
