GOLDRAUSCH

type: exhibition
year: 2010
location: Winterthur, CH
collaboration: Prof. Myriam Gautschi, University of Applied Sciences Constance // Mario Rechsteiner, Light designer // Students University of Applied Sciences Constance

Within the context of the International Light Days Winterthur 2010 (lichttage.ch) with the theme Baroque »fuochi artificiali« the passageway »Im Gängli« is being redesigned.

We deal with baroque stylistic elements characterized by their illusionistic space effects, with light and shadow, as well as the tension between reality and reflection. Being and appearance. This is the idea of »Goldrausch« (Gold rush). Gold is an expression of opulent lifestyles, disguise and deception, but also an irritation of one's own values and perceptions. Among other things, golden chocolate paper turns the passageway »Im Gängli« between the »Obertorgasse« and the »Badgasse« into an illusionistic world.
