“With his works, Hans Kotter makes the fascination, potential, atmospheric, and multifaceted nature of light tangible. He uses light—in combination with reflective and light-conducting materials—as a powerful energy that speaks to perception and imagination and opens a gateway to other realities in the indeterminate ‘non-space’,” the jury stated in its award:
GERMAN LIGHT ART PRIZE 2024
The internationally acclaimed artist was awarded this prize for his unique interpretation of light as a medium for expanding perception.
Using custom-built prisms, he creates intoxicating compositions of color and form, develops sculptural light objects, and develops spectacular installations that explore the multifaceted nature of light, tell stories, and generate illusions of multidimensional spaces and realities.
