Installations

In the site-specific works, light is added early on as an additional element. For example, Thomas Emde installs translucent coloured fleeces in front of windows, creating a coloured light space: The colour detaches itself from its material carrier and floods into the room. As early as 1992 Thomas Emde started working with glass and light - the materials that were to become essential for his further work. With the Mannheim Cube he created a walk-in glass sculpture. Mirrored from the inside, the observer inside can only look at himself but not at the outside world, while for the visitors outside the cube, together with the observers looking at themselves, becomes a work of art.
