Description/

Inspired by the infinite depth of the universe, the Danish artist Astrid Krogh created the mesmerizing light sculpture, Illimited (2019) from delicate optic fibers infused with changing light, protruding from a midnight blue box. Different light constellations appear and disappear in a slow pace, making the little square of the universe seem to “breathe” like a starry sky.

Astrid Krogh’s vocabulary is nuanced by sensory experiences, which are articulated through a lexicon of color and light. Widely regarded as one of Scandinavia’s most renowned artists in the field of light installations and textile art, Krogh works at the intersection of art, architecture and design. She has created monumental light installations and special commissions for numerous private and public collections, including the 21C Museum International Contemporary Art Foundation in Cincinnati, and Longchamp’s flagship store on the Champs Elysées in Paris.

“Arne Jacobsen once said that light gives all things their presence, highlighting the important role it plays in bringing surfaces to life” – Bradley Quinn

Astrid Krogh, a classically trained designer has taken Jacobson’s observation further by integrating light into her work rather than using it for effect.

"I use light both as a material and a technology, the presence of light is an essential component of my work as light enables my textiles to pulsate, change patterns and create an entire spectrum of ever changing colour ways"

“My reference point is often Gobelin tapestries or ancient kelim carpets, from a distance their colour ways appear to be distinct, but a closer examination reveals how the boundaries between them contain entire spectrums of colour”
