LIGHTS

Installation, 2005
365 empty bottles, LEDs, thread




A teamwork by Sebastian Helms,
Denis Luce, Inga Martel und Stefan Riebel.



The installation consits of 365 empty bottles of "Goldkrone", one of the most popular hard liquer brands in Germany. They hang about 5.2 feet high and together they are shaped like a huge rectangle. In each one is an alluminated LED that shines through the few last drops on the bottom of the bottles. A weird glow fills the front room while each single lamp is diing individually over the time of the exhibition and the christmas holidays. The work displays a critical view on this special part of town and refers to certain habits and ways to survive every - day - life.
