Even if not quite naturalistic in style, Chacahoula by Keith Sonnier is more figurative than most his artworks. It's a part of a series referring to existing places, to Chacahoula bayou in this case. The artwork was a part of Lichtrouten Lüdenscheid 20215, brilliantly curated by Bettina Pelz and Tom Groll.

One very good reason to travel to #Hamburg, #LightArt-wise is Galerie Watson at Milchstraße 2. It's one of the very few galleries specialised in light (and media) art, and does it pretty well. Now on display is a group exhibition Natur & Technik, with art works from artists like #KeithSonnier, #RegineSchumann, and #JacquelineHen.
