The work of the prize-winning Peruvian American light artist Grimanesa Amorós is characterised by organic forms and an instinctive approach. The basis of her fascinating sculptures lies, however, in the natural sciences, social history, and critical theory. Research and feeling establish a form of communication in her works.
The expansive sculptures and video installations of Grimanesa Amorós have already been shown all over the world: from Mexico to Tel Aviv and from Beijing to Times Square in New York. She presented her latest works, OCUPANTE and GOLDEN SECRET ROOM, in the Ludwig Museum Koblenz. The artist creates playful light installations which are so enigmatic that they permit interpretations on different levels.
Together with an overview of her work, this volume reproduces the works in large-format illustrations, thereby reproducing their fluidity and luminosity.
