SHOWING LIGHT. Brigitte Kowanz on her work
In the final part of the series, Brigitte Kowanz speaks for herself – about beginnings, about light as material and metaphor, about glass, pigment, and perception.
Coming from a background in sculpture, she was drawn early on to photography, film, and video – media that emit light rather than merely reflect it. Her interest in light was never superficial; it was conceptual, structural, and philosophical.
Kowanz explores the nature of glass as both fragile and transformative, much like the artistic process itself. She dissects painting into its core components – color, light, material – and reassembles them into spatial, luminous systems.
This film is a rare document: an artist articulating the logic behind her aesthetics – precise, analytical, yet always open to the magic of the unexpected. Her works are visually immediate but layered with complexity, demanding both attention and time. Like all true codes, they resist being decoded too easily.
