Lichtbild #63 is a luminous exploration of form and light, where industrial precision meets ethereal glow. Frank Bauer transforms anodised perforated aluminium and stainless steel into a radiant canvas - activated by the stark brilliance of sixteen xenon lamps. The interplay of solid and void, metal and light, pulses with a rhythm that is both mechanical and poetic.
This work is not just an object, but a moment suspended - a threshold between materiality and immateriality. Bauer’s sharp engineering sensibility gives way to an immersive sensory experience, inviting viewers to navigate shifting shadows and piercing highlights. It’s a quiet spectacle, a dialogue between the cold resilience of metal and the flickering life of light.
