Exhibition “XULLUX” explores and enhances the natural light effects inside the Abbey Library of St. Gallen

The exhibition project of Martin Leuthold and Daylight Academy member Sigrun Appelt takes place from 19 December 2018 to 3 March 2019 in the Abbey Library (Stiftsbibliothek) of St. Gallen and will be accompanied by various presentations and events (in German):

Die Installation XULLUX macht den Barocksaal der Stiftsbibliothek mit Reflexionseffekten und den Stimmungen des Lichts im Tagesablauf neu sicht- und erlebbar. Je nach Lichteinfall – natürlich und künstlich – wirkt der Raum anders. Die goldenen und silbernen Schriftzeichen an den Buch rücken schimmern und sind auch bei wenig Licht gut sichtbar. Sie werden durch einen raumfüllenden Strichcode überlagert, ein Sinnbild für den Wandel der Wissensvermittlung im digitalen Zeitalter. Die eigene Bewegung verändert die Wahrnehmung mit jedem Schritt. Ein künstliches Wetter leuchten sendet seine Signale in den barocken Raum.
