Nicky Assmann
Currently visible in exhibition Soleil·s
The immaterial and intangible character of light, colour and motion forms the starting point of Nicky Assmann's spatial installations. The sun inspires her in a perpetual quest for very intense colours in nature and analogue materials – which are brought out by its light. Her diverse body of work, rooted in the tradition of expanded cinema, includes kinetic light sculptures, video installations, and AV performances. Assmann combines artistic, scientific, and cinematographic elements in experiments with natural phenomena and chemical processes such as turbulence and fluid dynamics. These explorations serve as metaphors for the turbulent state of our world.
