Kilian Saueressig comments on his exhibition: “Light is the key to knowledge, the key to life. Without light there is no life and without light one cannot see. The transformation of light in the form of reflection, absorption and transmission allows us to look at pictures and sculptures. The light becomes images in our heads. The images become emotions. Ideas become images. It’s a transformation. The fascination of transforming light into mass and mass into light. This is the universal principle on which everything is based. Are spirit and soul a special form of light? The exhibition “Key of Light” explores this question and encourages the viewer’s imagination and magic.
