Her light sculptures, infused with poetic meaning, often incorporate handwritten texts or codes. Another Place Another Time (2000), for instance, features a square acrylic glass panel illuminated by fluorescent tubes. The work’s title is materialized in the acrylic panel through a laser cutting procedure that plastically renders the words in Morse Code. This installation fills its surroundings with a cool, blue-toned light, redefining the relationship between the artwork, its viewers and the environment they are both situated in. In this chain of perceptual dependency, the work consistently constructs new spaces and temporalities, always anchored in the coincidental. This aleatory and ephemeral character is also a material element of the work itself, present in the unforeseen trace of the electrostatic charge left after the removal of the protection foil that initially covered the acrylic surface. Kowanz captured this unique and almost painterly moment through a fixating layer of varnish, thus materializing the immaterial. In addition, the piece invokes the feeling of being transported to another place in another time, implying a sense of nostalgia and need for an escape, akin to immersing oneself in the virtual realms of the internet.
