Fenster für bewegtes Licht / Window for moving light
Olafur Eliassons Ostfenster im Greifswalder Dom / Olafur Eliasson's east windows in Greifswald cathedral
edited by Isabelle Dolezalek
English summary: Olafur Eliasson is known for his spatial light installations. For the Greifswald Cathedral, he has designed a new east window inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's colour palette. Light, colour and pattern play with the impression of change and infinity.

The east window for the Greifswald Cathedral is Olafur Eliasson's first glass work in a church interior. The artist, known for his light installations, is thereby joining the ranks of contemporary artists who have designed windows in medieval churches. At the same time, Eliasson is drawing on a romantic vision of the cathedral, which was fundamentally remodelled between 1824 and 1832. The bright, whitewashed interior in neo-Gothic stylestill defines the overall impression of the brick building today, as coloured windows could not be used at the time. Eliasson approaches the romantic spatial vision with extreme awareness and reinterprets it. Inspired by Caspar David Friedrich's colour palette, his window is about the perception of light in constant change, about time and infinity.

German description: Mit dem Ostfenster für den Greifswalder Dom entsteht Olafur Eliassons erste Glasarbeit in einem Kirchenraum. Der für seine Lichtinstallationen bekannte Künstler reiht sich damit in die Tradition zeitgenössischer Künstler ein, die Fenster in mittelalterlichen Kirchen gestaltet haben. Gleichzeitig knüpft Eliasson an eine romantische Vision des Doms an, der zwischen 1824 und 1832 grundlegend umgestaltet wurde. Der helle, weiß getünchte Innenraum im neugotischen Stil bestimmt den Gesamteindruck des Backsteinbaus bis heute, denn farbige Fenster konnten damals nicht eingesetzt werden. Mit äußerster Sensibilität nähert sich Eliasson der romantischen Raumvision an und deutet sie neu. In seinem von der Farbpalette Caspar David Friedrichs inspirierten Fenster geht es um die Wahrnehmung von Licht im steten Wandel, um Zeit und Unendlichkeit.
