PAINTINGS // SYNCHROTRON LIGHT
Für den Text auf Deutsch bitte hier klicken.
This series was inspired by the BESSY II particle accelerator in Berlin, where electrons race at near light speed, generating a particular kind of radiation called synchrotron light. Researchers harness this light to observe how materials react to changes in their environment. In a way, scientists can “see” into solid matter down to the subatomic level.What if this light could also dissolve the boundaries between time and space? What would it look like to see solid matter as pure energy, freed from the constraints of physical form? These paintings visualise synchrotron light radiating through BESSY II and other historic buildings nearby, revealing not only the structures of matter, but the histories and energies held within them.

This work is based on the cross-section diagram of the BESSY II particle accelerator, portrayed as if being transformed from within by synchrotron radiation.
The image is an homage to light: the light created by electrons, the light emitted by distant stars, and the light generated by the nerve cells in our bodies as they communicate with one another.
