Lux! - Vorspiele zu einer Autobiographie des Lichts (1997)
In this poetic and mystical work, light itself takes center stage and tells its story through images rather than words. At five different locations, various light sources come to life, accompanied by music, and interact with one another. The film uses unusual artificial light and sound installations as well as elements of expressive dance to present the diverse expressive possibilities of the visual arts. Without a continuous plot, but full of anecdotal, condensed scenes, a fascinating and challenging narrative unfolds.
