I have not had a chance to fully investigate Mischler Traxler's site yet, there is loads of stuff on there, but i like what i see. From low tech furniture arrangements, to the re-use of old porcelain plates to conceptual investigations into growth and solar energy. Their latest project involved the connection of two old lamps by a fluorescent tube. I love the tension in these peices, where poseable lights become fixed, unable to move, in each others glare. The composition of the image above immediately reminded me of seeing Botticelli's 'Annuciation' in Florence some years back. I always imagined light being beamed between the two outstretched hands, such is the immense tension in the painting. (If you ever get a chance to go and see it, DO! It is astonishing.)
