Out and about in the light 2022, Potsdam

On the way in the light. Why, surely! On the third weekend in January, our LIGHT composition “Soundless Music” was performed in downtown Potsdam. With the concept developed specifically for “On the Road in Light 2022”, the center of Potsdam was staged in a composition of colors in the evening hours, from Friday (January 21st) to Monday (January 24th), thus expressing the universal process of THERMODYNAMICS. Starting with shades of blue on Friday and ending with shades of red on Monday, the LIGHT composition worked with 18 buildings, each with 24 light scenarios that harmonize and interact with one another, creating an immersive walk through the “total work of art” of public space, architecture, and light and allow time. Kicking off on Friday, the beauty of the cold winter months was celebrated in calm BLUE and INDIGO combinations, which gave way to the optimistic GREEN of spring on Saturday and was replaced by the WARM summer joy of YELLOW and ORANGE tones on Sunday. The dynamic process concluded on Monday with a rather contemplative backdrop of DARK RED, which was accompanied at the FINALE with lighting moods from all the MAIN COLORS of the color spectrum.

„We did not forget you“. This LIGHT ART campaign was linked to the state capital Potsdam’s desire to convey to its citizens and its cultural institutions that it has not forgotten the importance of CULTURE in the city and the relevance of everyone working in the cultural scene, even in these difficult times. This weekend, everyone celebrated the beauty of life and art in and with (light) culture. The illumination was realized by the following partners: State Capital Potsdam (organizer), P3 Projekt GmbH (organization), Ruairí O’Brien. Lighting design (lighting concept), TLT Event AG (technical implementation) Left: www.ruairiobrien-lichtkunst.de On the way in the light.

Out and about in the light 2020, Potsdam

Architectural lighting concept for the center of Potsdam “Soundless Music” The images show excerpts from Ruairí O’Brien’s lighting composition for Potsdam On the Road in Light 2020, including the Brandenburg State Parliament, the Nikolaikirche and the Potsdam Film Museum. “With an authentic concept, high-quality technology and a selective selection, you can achieve more in lighting design. To create poetic and exciting lighting moods, you have to understand how time, space, materials, darkness and light can be brought together and how you can juxtapose them.” Ruairí O’Brien

Lighting concept for the church tower of the Garrison Church in Dresden

Temporary light art installation on the occasion of the ÖRNÖ art festival On the occasion of the 21st Dresden Art Festival ORNÖ, Ruairí O’Brien designed an artistic architectural light display for the tower of the Garrison Church of St. Martin in Dresden. The tower was highlighted by the accentuated emphasis on the edges of the building. Through the subtle use of light – the openings of the tower were specifically accentuated with light – the imposing appearance of the building could now be experienced even in the dark, drawing the public’s attention to the building and the festival venue.

Lighting for the micromuseum® for Erich Kästner in Dresden

The micromuseum® developed by Ruairí O’Brien, a modern piece of architecture, work of art and interactive working tools, reflects the diverse personality and work of the world-famous children’s book author, poet, media person and journalist Erich Kästner. The careful insertion of a new „heart“ into the listed Villa Augustin on Albertplatz, into the former home of Kästner’s uncle, by means of a microarchitectural implantation of a house within the house – consisting of a multimedia core and 13 mobile, life-sized information modules – creates a living bridge between the past, Present and future as well as all generations. By examining and operating the life-size building blocks such as the multimedia components, visitors gain access to the exhibition content and provide insights into Erich Kästner’s complex world. In which he can gain insights on a self-directed route and at a self-determined pace.
