Sausagefence Group (HU ) at WOKA Lamps Vienna
1.10.2009, 6.22pm
Not just any lamps are produced at WOKA Lamps Vienna, but rather, the entire cultural history of lighting objects is retraced: historical reproductions, with the emphasis on the Vienna workshops, are made entirely by hand here, in part even with original tools. With their project the Sausagefence Group mainly tackled the topic of interactivity – since a real WOKA lamp certainly wants to be entertained, valued and nursed by their proprietors… With the Time Lamp, the Sausagefence Group jointly present with WOKA a fascinating synthesis of light and time: in this interactive object which is formally reminiscent of an hour glass, instead of sand, it is light seemingly turned into liquid that “trickles” down – until we turn the lamp upside down.
