LIGHT IN MUSIC. MUSIC IN LIGHT.
Light in music. Music in light. In rare moments, they intertwine—and in those moments, we realize what art is capable of: helping us feel life in all its fullness.
This collaboration brings together two artists from different worlds: Munich-based pianist Vivien Walser and South Korean light installation artist Ligyung, who has captivated audiences worldwide with her large-scale media installations. Together, they create an evening that blurs the boundaries between the senses.
Musically, the focus is on works by Robert Schumann, Alexander Scriabin, and Olivier Messiaen. For all of them, light played a significant role—not only as a metaphor, but in a very concrete sense. For Schumann, light was a symbol of emotional states—those fleeting moments of enlightenment in which love, hope, and poetry lift people beyond the mundane. Olivier Messiaen firmly linked musical sounds and keys to visual colors and patterns of light. Scriabin assigned colors to notes and dreamed of a total work of art combining music, light, scent, architecture, and movement; to this end, he devised the “color piano,” which generates colored projections in time with the music.
Ligyung’s light installations take up these musical impulses—not as illustrations, but as works in their own right. They breathe with the music, come into being in the same moment, and exist in the now.
At the “ ELEKTRA TONQUARTIER ” at the Bergson Kunstkraftwerk, two artists and two worlds come together. Pianist Vivien Walser engages in a dialogue with the light installations by LIGYUNG—one of the world’s most acclaimed contemporary media installation artists. Together, they create an evening that blurs the boundaries between the senses.
A classical piano recital meets a contemporary media installation. Two artists. One experience. One evening.
