Light Squared. As soon as I open my eyes, I see a film

SPECIALIZATION MODULE

Course convened by Milica Tomić, Ahmad Darkhabani, Martin Schultze, Marcus Ossiander

Classrom Collaboration

IZK - Institute for Contemporary Arts & IEP - Institute of Experimental Physics

Architecture and physics students will explore light-related concepts in light, photography, and film. By investigating the role of light in art, we aim to bridge artistic practice with experimental physics, examining the points where these two fields intersect.

We will study the cinematographic apparatus as a system of relationships inspired by film and photography mechanics but evoked through materials and technologies not initially intended for film production or cinematic use. The course examines how unconventional media can be adapted or reinterpreted to create new cinematic experiences (Levi, 2012). Building on these explorations, students will deepen their understanding of light, film, and cinema through various experiments in both art and physics.
