With "dark - light. LICHTINSTALLATIONEN", Berlin artist Götz Lemberg opens up a new and exciting approach to the phenomenon of light in Hanover. With "dunkel - licht", Lemberg invites us to experience light in its various dimensions and to sharpen and question our perception of light in its many facets. We experience light sometimes radiant, sometimes mysterious, as a natural phenomenon or as a challenge to our own expectations.

"The method of the works is the shifting, displacement and superimposition of viewpoints and boundaries. Boundaries become soft, fluid, multidimensional. Views are not given, fixed, unambiguous," explained the artist.

From March 9 to May 4, in the transition from the dark season to the light days, the artist will be showing four works with different artistic concepts in the interior and exterior of the Kulturkirche Markuskirche: in front of the church, a large-scale work entitled "LICHT" (LIGHT ) will illuminate the urban space with hundreds of LED lights. In the bell tower, "FriedLicht" allows visitors to immerse themselves in a slowly changing color-space cosmos while gazing skywards. In the nave, the light-mirror object "KLK#1" invites visitors to immerse themselves in a full-body kaleidoscope. With "HCIICH" , the darkened chapel becomes an intimate and surprising devotional and experiential space. Here, visitors are invited to engage with seeing and being seen in the smartphone age through an ingenious combination of cameras and displays.

Lemberg works at the interface of space, sound and light art as well as photography. His works have been shown at the Akademie der Künste Berlin, the Polish National Museum, the Kunstmuseum Stuttgart, the Musikfest Bremen, the Beethovenfest Bonn, the Berliner Festspiele and the International Music Festival Stuttgart, among others. What his works have in common is the question of the constitution of reality through perception. Through a playful approach to concrete everyday phenomena and abstract forms, he creates experiential spaces that question the usual patterns and expectations of perception.

The exhibition will also be on display on the occasion of the 39th German Protestant Church Congress in Hanover and will be accompanied by a varied supporting program with music and texts on the subject of light, guided tours and a night opening.
