On the 18th of April at 8 PM you will experience the start of a Light Art Installation by Swiss-Hungarian artist Peter Kozma. Peter is widely know from Raypainting.com project carried out together with Hungarian -living in Vienna- artist Dora Berkes. This time Peter came to work alone.
His projects are always contemporary art concepts which should be seen as propositions for design and architectural city landscape planning. The concept is to make a strong impact on people's imagination, shake the senses, get the people out from the standard frames of everyday perception of the city space and as a result think about the space in different categories.
His recent project in Berlin has shown a new unique view of the Brandenburg Gate. Through the visual projections the gate lost its everyday looks, people could look at it torn away from the standard monumental feeling. That has created a much stir on the issue of light in architectural design. In Warsaw Peter met a spectacular Palace of Science and Culture. Extremely emotional building placed in the center of the city. Much of the space around still is unsettled and is missing the idea for using it. Together with his fellow artist, an acknowledged Hungarian photographer Zsolt Fekerte and the contemporary artist Norbert Szabo, Peter in 7 days will show different approaches to the concept of expression in the urban space. Everyday the images displayed on the large facade of the building will change. The changes communicate the story and the experiment with the view of the unorganized space in the center of Warsaw. Palace of Light and Art as the project is called is stressing the need of the artistic interaction between the 51 year old Soviet gift to the Polish nation and the modern city that grew around it.
