Light and sound are the key <materials> in the works of Nicole Pawlowski. They change their shape and form and expand almost limitlessly within in the space. As a result, her creative output always remains related to space and time. Electronic components become essential tools that the artist uses in an autodidactic and experimental way and with a searching curiosity that comes from her vast experience to produce surprisingly new connections, thereby also leading to new perceptions that address almost all of our senses. Everything takes place in the here and Now: The philosophical background of her creative output can be reduced to this equation, shaped in particular by Zen Buddhism and thus distanced from the anthropocentric world view of occidental culture. Accordingly, Nicole Pawlowski is different, with her studio resembling a high-tech research laboratory, with a leaning towards subjectivist and individualistic self-discovery. Her ideas have been become reality especially in interactive performances and installations (often with unusual objects, like barbeques!). She investigates the complex interactions and effects of Nature as a whole and incorporates this in her work. As a result of this, natural materials are important to her; water is the central element in the two installations created in Ticino, with its surface acting as a visible surface moved by sounds. A barrel is covered with a drum-like membrane vibrated by a sound converter underneath so that the thin layer of water moves over it. Red laser beams penetrate through the water from below and project moving images onto the ceiling. A hexagonal tank is covered by a membrane filled with a little water. 16 loudspeakers positioned underneath move the surface of the water, with an image projected diagonally from above reflecting on the wall. The sounds that inaudibly move the image are made audible by sculptures made of copper tubing. Martin Kraft
