Emulation





In this project I emulated Lichtfaktor, an Artists' Collective from Cologne, Germany. VJ $ehvermögen (photographer and VJ) and JIAR (communications designer and graffiti artist) experimented with the possibilities of long-term exposure and painting, thus creating light writing or light graffiti. To achieve a similar effect, using a digital camera and a tripod, the camera was set to 30 second exposures at 100iso with the smallest aperture setting. The sites chosen, indoors in a studio or outdoors on a wall or in a public setting, helped to show the different effects light has on various spaces and environments. The photos I have chosen help me to understand the effects of light within different settings and to create a dialog between the light graffiti and the surroundings.
