Jürgen Eichler deals with light and art and creates
three-dimensional colored light structures in space. They reflect special
properties of light that are rarely used in art: coherence and interference.
These three-dimensional images are made possible by the technique of holography
using self-made photosensitive films. The holograms are combined with
computer-processed photos. Thus, interference colors are mixed with normal
colors. The 3D light structures and colors change depending on the position of
the observer.
His holograms are about the nature of light, the
different colors in space and the effects on the eye and brain. It is about the
properties of seeing and the question of the reality of what is seen. The
holograms have interdisciplinary connections to painting and graphics,
photography and sculpture.
His studio Hololab is located at the University of
BHT-Berlin. Various applications in design and art are realized there. The
holographic film material is self-made and the variation of the production
process is part of the artistic work. Jürgen Eichler is professor of physics
and author of several articles and textbooks on physics, lasers and holography.
His holograms
have been shown at various exhibitions:
- Research market Berlin (2013, 2015, 2019)
- "Coherence and Incoherence" and
"Holographic Embodiment" in the Holocenter, New York (2017 and 2019)
- Contribution at the symposium "The future of
holographic art", ZKM Karlsruhe (2018)
- "Percepcoes", "Dimensoes da
Arte","Brasil", MBlois Gallery, Rio de Janeiro (2018, 2020, 2023)
- "Radical Crafts 1" and "Radical
Crafts 2" , Direktorenhaus Berlin (2019/20, 2020/21)
