Play of brilliants: Richard Kelly's light to look at

Let's start right at the beginning

The sun has shaped human perception for more than five million years.

As a result, the rhythm of day and night and the daily incidence of light from above have become anchored in our subconscious.

Also deeply anchored are the associated diffused shadows of the clouds and the hard shadow created by the sun.

The third form of light according to Richard Kelly shows that light does not merely point to information but constitutes information in itself.

1Use point light sources specifically for brilliance effects when the light itself is to become the eye-catcher—as a glittering reflection or play of light, for example.
2Use gobos or structured lenses to bring patterns, signs, or images into the space with projected light as an additional design layer.
3Plan for shadows carefully, as they are what truly reveal the texture of surfaces and the spatial position of objects to us.
