THE WORK AS CODE. Adrian Kowanz on Brigitte Kowanz
How do we read an artwork made of light? For Brigitte Kowanz, light was a code – universal, invisible, and yet revealing everything. In this second part of the series on the occasion of the exhibition “Light is what we see” at the Albertina Museum, her son Adrian Kowanz offers insight into the conceptual clarity and emotional richness of her work.
From Morse code to mirror spaces, from analog light tubes to digital reflections – her installations open up a language of abstraction that is both deeply poetic and intellectually rigorous. She created hybrid spaces where information and the self intersect, where the viewer becomes both observer and participant.
This is also a personal film: a portrait of a mentor, thinker, and artist whose generosity extended beyond her practice. It is an invitation to see her work not simply as visual phenomena, but as a resonant system of signs that reflects the complexity of our technological and emotional realities.
