Extraordinary Light Project at the Luminale 2018 with SGM

With his 2018 Luminale project, Gunther Hecker, one of the most renowned stage and lighting designers in Europe, added another creative exclamation point to his impressive resume. In the site-specific lighting installation, Hecker worked with the beautiful, eye-catching, spiral-shaped staircase on the Juniorhaus building, which is considered one of the most important cultural monuments of post-war modernism in Frankfurt.

Hecker created a rotating movement, using speed, dynamics, and various colors from floor to floor in a continuous loop. The effect was created by 100 SGM P-1 LED floodlights placed on the steps shining upwards with a special developed programming. Four SGM P-10s were placed on the canopy towards the façade, and thanks to the 10 degree lenses (63 x10 and 10 x 63), a very accurate and asymmetrical illumination was achieved.
