Brigitte Kowanz

At the beginning of this period, between 1979 and 1984, she produced paper and screen images with phosphorescent and fluorescent pigments in collaboration with Franz Graf.

From 1995, Kowanz also regularly used the morse alphabet – based on simple dash-dot combinations – for coding purposes.

The mutual reflection of light, language and mirror (Rainer Fuchs) produces hybrid spaces whose boundaries seem to be clearly defined at one moment, but gone again the next.

Real space and virtual reflection penetrate each other, the boundaries between artwork and observer became fluid.

The occupation with the intangible physics of light, which – although a guarantee of visibility – is itself slightly overlooked, persists in the works of Brigitte Kowanz.
