On the border between art and science, Carsten Höller's light installations are a matter of plastic investigation and aesthetic experimentation. Born in Brussels in 1961, the German artist (who lives in Estocolmo) formed as an entomologist before dedicating himself to what was called “relational aesthetic”. The MAAT exhibition, which includes our luminous productions from 1988 up to date, offers visitors the possibility of experimenting with it Roaming beds, which can be purchased for the price of 200 euros. At the end of the night, the night will come to light and the darkness of the nocturnal nights will come to an end by the robot cams, which, summed up with the times, will form a gigantic laberinto of lines. ¿Te atreves a dibujar?
