Michael Bleyenberg

I refer to my work as "Light Architecture". This term indicates an artistic vision.
I design the public realm, not just using solid building material, but the ephemeral medium light. At the core of my work are laser- and slide, and video projections as well as prismatic film, embedded between glass and mirrors. My work shows imagery that is based on series of painting, drawing and digital fine art.
