Project: Where does light go?
Location: Karel Vermeeren Plantsoen
Daniel Schlaepfer’s artistic works focuses on the relationship of nature and man-made artifacts. He developed an artistic practice to deepen the awareness for the complexity of natural phenomena in the esthetical sphere. Within his research on biological, physical and optical principles he generates materials and concepts with which he transforms to natural and artificial sceneries in order to interfere with the standards of perception and interpretation.
In the Karel Vermeeren Plantsoen his works are centered on its significant trees. Based on the simple notion that the shape and life cycle of plants are conditioned by a constant search for and transformation of light he invents the visuals of a nighttime-garden.
