Favourite Uncle
Polarization + collage = Polage®.
"Prometheus" is a unique work of art, layered on multiple levels. A picture that continuously changes, surprising and powerful. It is made up of numerous small and large strips of cellophane. Viewed through a polarization filter, it reveals ever-changing dimensions of the light painting.
The artist – and inventor of this form of light art – calls Prometheus her "favorite uncle." He gave fire to humanity and was punished by Zeus for it. For science, he is seen as a kind of mythical father.
