Buchli/Isenschmid: SOLARKASKADE

Kunst Garage Versam, Hauptstrasse – GPS: 46.79120, 9.33817 – From the village centre Versam 3 Min.

On December 21, 2022, the sunshine duration in the house of the artist duo in Versam was 2h 40min. This was the prelude to their work, which deals with the conversion of sunlight into artificial light. Depending on the time of day and the position of the sun, the solar panel in front of the
Art Garage Versam produces different amounts of electricity. This feeds a lamp inside the gallery, which feeds a next solar panel. In this way, the process continues over several stations until the last lamp, which only shines very rarely. Link
