INSPIRATIONS / #31 MORTIZ WALDERMEYER
CURATED BY
Light Collective have admired Moritz Waldermeyer from afar for some time but felt the need to make friends with him after seeing his stunning piece My New Flame developed for Ingo Maurer at last year’s Light + Building - a product that has since become part of MoMA’s permanent collection. Light Collective recently had the pleasure of inviting Moritz to be part of their exhibition Lumiere - The Play of Brilliants that is currently running at Elephant Paname in Paris and featured in the last issue of mondo*arc. It’s impossible not to be inspired by his diverse body of work - from interactive chandeliers for Swarovski, collaborative work for Zaha Hadid, bespoke installations for Audi, Bombay Sapphire and Wallpaper*, LED-embedded hats designed with Philip Treacy and high-tech, light- studded costumes for U2, Rihanna, and the London Olympics Handover Ceremony performers. It’s now time for Moritz to share his inspirations with the readers of mondo*arc. www.waldemeyer.com
