At POLIGHT., we understand light as an essential element in spatial design. Although the exhibition Light and Space: Oteiza in Oiza has now concluded, we want to offer our visitors the opportunity to relive this unique experience. Through this exhibition, we explore the connection between lighting and architecture, highlighting how light transforms the perception of volume and void in the works of two great masters: Francisco Javier Sáenz de Oiza and Jorge Oteiza.
Lighting and Architecture in the Work of Oiza and Oteiza
The relationship between lighting and architecture is key to the work of Sáenz de Oiza, who designed iconic buildings such as the Torres Blancas and the Banco de Bilbao. His architectural vision is complemented by the exploration of void and light in the sculpture of Jorge Oteiza, creating a unique dialogue between the two disciplines.
Through this exhibition, visitors were able to discover how light enhances the interaction between matter and space in the work of these two great masters. Although the exhibition has now concluded, the content remains available online, so that the essence of this sensorial experience is never lost.
A sensorial experience at the POLIGHT Showroom.
In this exhibition, light not only illuminates, but transforms. The installation was designed to highlight the connection between lighting and architecture, allowing visitors to experience firsthand how light influences the perception of forms, materials, and the atmosphere of a space.
From dramatic contrasts to luminous subtleties, each installation within the POLIGHT Showroom sought to convey the essence of the relationship between light and design, demonstrating how lighting can redefine an architectural structure or a sculpture.
“Without light, there is no sculpture. Light and space are the two great values that shape the work for contemplation…”
“Architecture as a spatial experience, which becomes such, like poetry or music in time. Like a Corbusian ‘promenade architecturale’: successive, interconnected spaces governed by light, the essential protagonist of form.”
