2:34 am
a story like somebody. just telling a story like this to. construct their story around a melody and then there are holes. in the system that are jumping with it jumping into the pool. to gather what i mean. the artist has released 4 studio albums since 2010 she hasn't burned up any charge but she's gained a worldwide following with her delicate often melancholy songs they've been streamed millions of times. a day only she often writes her we are actually using a special technique putting them up on a cork porter's world. and found this technique
2:35 am
you know start with the songs sometimes has the line just one line can take forever . and then this will make. and sentences i feel like work within the song. she complements such classical instruments as the cello in piano with digital effects in her compositions sometimes her pitched voice is barely recognizable. the. function she spends months publishing in honing her sounds you know when you 1st. hear the song and somehow. just that close to that and maybe over at something else and plan. and then i'm happy.

the artist in our next report has put the paper rushes aside in favor of light as his medium instead the work of have yet reality is based on geometrical lie projections on various landscapes and then he uses photography to capture the images which resembles something out of this world if it sounds complicated that's because it is but we met up with rare in madrid to hear more about his artistic process. 3 dimensional sculpture holographic these terms describe the light installations by had indiana geometric shapes of the spanish artist's trademark he projects them onto landscapes with astonishing results especially at a moment or so i'm always seeking these almost magical moments in my works is the interview you know i'm trying to find out whether there is a harmonious relationship between geometry and nature. you know suffering
2:38 am
a harmony that would move us emotionally and which goes beyond our normal perception of nature. leanna as career began in 2008 with a large solo photography exhibition in the rain as sophia in madrid since then he's carried out light projections in numerous public spaces and festivals. these installations are more than simple entertainment for him. sometimes i feel this sort of reverberation which goes beyond our daily perception and beyond how we normally experience nature said morris that was then this not allow those moments are precious and very fulfilling for me is. i even go so far as to say i live for these kinds of experiences. biba body said people experience is.
2:39 am
elemental tranquil and any magic that's how the artist experiences unspoiled nature he tries to make this sensation visible in his projections and takes large scale photos of the results. at 1st glance the viewer sees these 2 crosses at 2 deaths with us but they are actually part of a cube the corners of which i've removed. the. last askin us but there's a shadow of that cube in the viewer's mind. and in a similar way there's an enterprise between the projected form and nature. after finding a landscape the area starts designing his geometric forms in his madrid studio they follow strict mathematical rules he wouldn't think of using image editing software
2:40 am
to superimpose them on a landscape photo he works on site. your syndicate on the old boy chronometer meanwhile the right geometry compliments the place know what he means you can't do that on a computer but when i finished a geometric form it will look like there's a key to another dimension you can't get that effect on screen. you have to be in the place and experiment with the shape on site. yesterday mental physical and. the f.b.i. usually works with standard projectors which he arranges and adjusts in his studio to test out his projections on walls. this gives him a 1st impression. but if i don't move to of course us i'll prepare everything as thoroughly as i can but then when the distances are much further everything might change. sometimes the image onsite will look completely different than what.
2:41 am
tonight conditions in the mountains outside madrid are ideal thanks to a full moon of yeti yet has a natural light source for his long exposures together with his artistic process the resulting photo acquires a magical quality. we turn our attention now to another artist who like the musician on us although uses the night as her inspiration german painter zilker silk aboard heads out into nature after dark to as she puts it see the unseen well even in the dead of night she still manages to bring nothingness to life in the landscape around her we went along with her to witness the results. through the night doors. equipped only with a gas lamp

plants. why not mine is just so extremely illuminated. it's lit up like a festival in the test benoist on. not many places are truly dark at night since the introduction of electric lighting cities an industrial areas are as bright as day even in the dead of night or. this light pollution or light smog the strips are sleep and the saurians many nighttime creatures. lists walk i mean violent i feel ambivalent about light smog because from an artistic perspective i find it interesting and attractive. but from the standpoint of reason of course i know it's a disaster. the buildings of a former cotton mill in leipzig provide space for artists like the internationally acclaimed painter neo around. the borg also has her studio here she generally
