Ulrich Vogl Draw me light and cast me some shadow! What do you see in the dark? The German artist Ulrich Vogl is cutting it back to the bare minimum using light as a drawing material. A shadow cast on a wall, an imaginary skyline in front of our eyes or a observatory projecting stars all create an illusionary world using the very basic of our nature to receive the world. - Otherwise we are blind men walking.
