This course took place as a  classroom collaboration between IZK and the Institute for Experimental Physics. 

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

We studied 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 examined how unconventional media can be adapted or reinterpreted to create new cinematic experiences (Levi, 2012). Building on these explorations, students have deepened their understanding of light, film, and cinema through various experiments in both art and physics.
