Luiza Simons has created a large scale installation of her signature scanograms at KWS in Einbeck, Germany.
Since the 1990s, Luzia Simons has been creating beautiful flower arrangements using a special scanner instead of a camera. The fantastic, illusionistic spatial images are created by the artist draping the flowers on the scanner glass. The scanner scans the surfaces and then creates a digital image that can be read and visualized with the computer. The artist then processes these high-precision image measurements like an exposed photograph as a LightJet print behind Plexiglas. With this technique developed by her, Simons creates pictorial spaces that cannot be produced either photographically or painterly. The fabric banners, which extend over two floors, resemble curtains on a stage on which the artist's imaginary gardens unfold.
