Luftwerk x Aram Saroyan
October 17th – January 11th, 2025

Opening Reception: October 17th | 6 – 8:15 PM

More Light! Luftwerk x Aram Saroyan. The single word poem “lighght,” by Aram Saroyan, is the inspiration for Luftwerk’s site-specific installation at the Poetry Foundation. Saroyan describes his poem, a seminal work of minimalism, as operating like “electricity,” instant and continuous. According to Saroyan, “‘lighght’ is something you see rather than read…. Even a five-word poem has a beginning, middle, and end. A one-word poem doesn’t. You can see it all at once.” Luftwerk’s immersive interpretation brings viewers inside an ever shifting prism of colored light, transforming the Poetry Foundation gallery into a dynamic lightbox. ”
