Scenic Design

 

If you want to bring moving images with a dramatic structure to your audience in a large-scale context, we can help as well.

 

No matter if you are a performing artist, run a theater or if you are planning an unforgettable event: LICHTFRONT creates all-encompassing visual environments for your show and exhibition.

Our scenographic designs have been shown, amongst others, at the “Havana Night Club” and “Fuego” shows in Las Vegas, the “Casanova Revue” at the Friedrichstadtpalast in Berlin and the “International Beethoven Festival” in Bonn.

Percussive Planet

 

23 - 24/09/2006

International Beethovenfest

Bonn - GERMANY

 

In cooperation with the Academy of Media Arts of Cologne and the Beethoven-Festival, Bonn we created a 3-4 hours show for Austria's upcoming percussion star Martin Grubinger. The concept of "motion stage-design" is developed especially close to his sound dramaturgy and consists of visuals based on classic works of Xeniakis, John Cage, Schostakovitsch, Tanaka and also Martin Grubinger. These compositions go beyond the yet familiar musical spectrum of LF and represented for us an extremely exciting challenge.

 

Havana Night Club

 

31/05/06 - 13/06/06
Las Vegas - U.S.A.

 

At the beginning of summer we participated in the event "Havanna Night" in Las Vegas, USA, and could give proof of our experience gained previously in Berlin at Casanova-Revue/Friedrichstadtpalast. The Stardust-Casino show was directed by Nicole "ND" Dürr (director) and Alexander Doss (art director and video punk).

 

For this special purpose, we developed a "motion stage-design" for 17 different scenes . Our main target was to use the artistic video scenes as visual translation of the story sung in Spanish since round 99% of the audience was English-speaking.

 

The whole project was set up in 2 weeks only. Lack of sleep couldn't affect the pleasant atmosphere in the big-brother video container. No time for sight-seeing on this trip, we hope for the next one. Cheers to ND, Alex, Timo and Siegfried & Roy.

 

SENSORAMA - Interdependenzen

Collective exibition organized by "Projektionsareal"
Offenburg - Germany 23-28/11/2006
Freiburg - Germany 05-12/01/2007

 

LF was invited to Projektionsareal's second project. Sensorama is an interactive multimedia room where one can experience the co-dependence of human being and space. Modern technologies such as video projections and sound environments are used to demonstrate this relationship and behaviour derived therefrom. For this purpose, we design three image-subjects adopting by turns different visual forms, going from dissonance to harmony on a mental-like scale. These mental conditions are reflected by the audience's behaviour and are controlled and traced by Sensorama. How you feel is literally what you see!

Theaterbox / Move:Me

 

2005

Stephan Müller and Ingo Pelmer in cooperation with the Academy of Media Arts of Cologne

 

"Move:Me" is a tool for generating moviebased stagedesign. 3 different predefined positions on the stage can be assigned to different stagedesigns that correspond to 3 different areas within a movie. By the actor movements (interpreted by position tracking) on the stage between the 3 areas predefined regions of the movie are played to generate transitions beween the different stagedesigns. That means the actors position is used to contol the playhead within a movie.

Installation to defend the romantic nature in german living rooms

Stephan Müller, Ingo Pelmer

KHM, Academy Of Media Arts - Cologne 2005

 

The interactive installation gives a deep view into Germany's most popular living room picture, considering the view to its iconographic future (this of course with a twinkle about the relationship between the image of the deer and the observer).

The interpretation of Germany's living room acessoire – “the deer in the mountains”, that stood for the romantic view of the untouched nature was found in a lot of typical living rooms by the working class members. Nearly 80 to 90% of the german population know the image.

Nowadays the romantic interpretions are lost, because younger generations have new iconographic items to show up. IKEA and popular images killed more deers in living rooms, than hunters and pollution could ever kill.

So regarding to the extinct of “the deer in the mountain”, this installation strikes back with modern abilities and the will to survive.
