Benjamin Schälike have been concerned with the question of how to write about light as a creative medium without having to write a technical guideline.
The book is about his understanding of lightdesign, as an creative and artistic prozess.
THE UGLY LIGHT is not a catalog of Benjamin Schälikes lightdesign. He illustrates and discusses different approaches, and spectrum of lightdesign.
THE UGLY LIGHT is intended to serve everyone as a beginning, extension and stimulus to the understanding of light, it will open up a kaleidoscope of possibilities.
THE UGLY LIGHT offers interviews and articles with lightdesigner, lightartists, stagedesigners and theatermakers. (Like: Andre Diot; Peter Zadek; Fred Pommerehn; Bruno Pucheron; Jennifer Tipton, James Turell, Olafur Eliason; Anthony Mc Call; Dan Flavin; Heiner Goebbels)
Take THE UGLY LIGHT as an inspiration and not as a guide.
It is not about right or wrong, but about finding your own way with light design.
