Susanne Rottenbacher

Susanne Rottenbacher studied stage design at Barnard College, Columbia University, New York, and completed a Master of Science with a focus on light at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning, London. She worked as a stage designer at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as a lighting designer for the office ”Licht Kunst Licht”; in this context, she conceived, among other things, the lighting design of the Federal Chancellery and the new government buildings. She has been working as a freelance light artist since 2004. Susanne Rottenbacher creates expansive installations from sculptural elements that can best be described as light-coloured bodies. Her sculptures are characterized by great lightness and transparency and change in dialogue with the surrounding space and the times of day.
