“Collected Light Vol 1: Women Light Artists” as Inspiration for a University Assignment

Last autumn semester, the book Collected Light Volume One: Women Light Artists was used in the Light and Humanscourse, part of the Architectural Lighting Design master’s programme at the KTH Royal Institute of Technology.

Each student selected one art project from the book and investigated the artist’s intentions, the technology involved, and the impact the work creates in space and perception.

As a next step, students translated what they considered the most distinct light-related characteristic of the artwork into their own lanterns (15 × 15 × 15 cm cardboard boxes).

Using any materials and light sources at hand, they recreated the chosen light qualities and their relation to space in their own interpretations.

In this booklet, you will find both the students’ lanterns as outcomes and the original projects that served as inspiration.
