Frankfurt at Night - Light Art NEO NOIR

The Frankfurt skyline at night is a spectacular photo motif for many photographers. In order to present the magic of this glowing scenery in a completely new way, the various buildings and details of the NEO NOIR series were individually photographed by means of long-term exposure. And then – inspired by the nocturnal Milky Way – they were reassembled into an abstract skyline. One motif focuses on the typical big city architecture, the other on the details of urban and cultural living space.

NEO NOIR is an art staging of the Frankfurt skyline. The skyscrapers of the German metropolis are staged by clever composition and cast a spell over the viewer. The motifs for the film are taken from the NEO NOIR photo series carrying the same name.

The audiovisual realization of the motif brings the lights of the city to life in an experimental way. The sound design assigns an individual sound to each individual light. The background music reminiscent of the film Blade Runner gives the work a mystical and futuristic character. This work was presented at various exhibitions by means of projection.
