Die goldene Stunde – Fenja Kugel, Leonie Thom

The entire construct of time is based on the relationship between the sun and the earth. The sun and its angle of incidence serve as the basis for the oldest time-displaying instruments. In the field of tension between refraction and reflection, "the golden hour" subtly projects the time onto the wall. In the light cone of the floor lamp, a point of light moves clockwise as an indication of the hour. Its brightness makes it stand out from the surrounding light and is created by the bundling of light from a lens rotating in front of the light bulb. Due to the slight angle of inclination of the shade, the dot reaches its most focused form at around six o'clock and becomes distorted at around twelve o'clock. As the shadows vary in length throughout the day, the dot of light also changes its appearance and visualizes the dynamics of the course of the day. The steel shade is only clamped in the tube of the luminaire base by its own tension. The easily transportable luminaire thus brings the warm, soft light of the golden hour into any room.
