»Luminograf X« is an interactive audio-visual installation that translates physical matter into temporary light drawings.
It mainly consists of a phosphorescent membrane that is suspended from the ceiling of a room together with an exposure unit. The exposure unit moves step by step along the membrane, leaving behind seemingly random compositions of luminous lines. These are fragmentary mirror images of people and objects that were present in the room at different times while being registered by a sensor. The generated light traces are in a constant state of flux: they overlap again and again with new impulses, glow for a while and gradually fade away.
The original version of »Luminograf X« was realized in 2018. A new version was created in 2020, commissioned by the Kunstmuseum Celle for the exhibition »Parallel Worlds. Art, Science and Fiction«.
