Let there be light…

“The Baroque churches of Southern Germany are the conscious inspiration for these works as Leiviskä openly concedes, even if the syntax itself could hardly be more removed from the plasticity of Balthasar Neumann. An indirect, hypersensitive play of light on a set of highly susceptible layered lattices and planes is patently the aesthetic modus operandi in these churches. And to this ludic game we must add the equally playful layering of lights miraculously floating at the ends of imperceptible cords…”

”In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters. And God said, ‘Let there be light,’ and there was light. God saw that the light was good, and he separated the light from the darkness. God called the light ‘day’ and the darkness he called ‘night.’ And there was evening, and there was morning - the first day.”

Genesis 1:1-5

“The sun is the star closest to us and the most important and most easily perceptible celestial body. It has nearly all, or 99.8 %, of the mass in the solar system. Out of that mass, c. 75 % is hydrogen and c. 25 % helium, and only 0.1 % are heavier elements. All other bodies in the solar system orbit the sun.”
