Pipilotti Rist's Selbstlos im Lavabad is a milestone in the history of tiny art. I still can remember my bafflement reading the artwork info on the wall in MoMa PS1, but seeing the artwork nowhere. Until I realised I was standing on it.

I know François Morellet's pieces, where ultra-straight neon tubes hang mid-air like ballerinas frozen in their jump, and Creation n° 6 surprised me with its free flowing doodle-likeness. I kind of felt this piece winking at me, and found myself smiling.

As seen in the Brilliant Works exhibition at Museum Ritter.

Miriam Prantl's Led-relief Square is a fine example of minimalism overwhelming the The Marli Hoppe-Ritter Collection: simple at first sight, unfolding with some time spent with it. The Collection, based on what I saw at the Brilliant Works exhibition, is also lacking artworks with flashy colours for flashy colours' sake. Much appreciated.

Annette Sauermann's Light Transformer is an example of a light artwork that does not contain light in itself, but collects and conducts the ambient light. As seen in Brilliant Works exhibition of Museum Ritter.

Chocolate and light art - what a wonderful concept! Unfortunately, the chocolate shop was closed when I visited the Museum Ritter's (as in Ritter Sport) Brilliant Works exhibition. Anyway, the light art compensated.

Betty Rieckmann's A Morphing Frank Stella 10 is no doubt the best light-colour-study-square-or-circle artwork I've ever seen, and I've seen some. It was quite impossible to take a photo of it with my camera, so this image is merely a reconstruction. The peacefully rolling colour scheme was random-looking but at the same time so deliberately composed that no second of it was uninteresting. Such unique, unexpected, beautiful combinations! This artwork alone was worth the detour.
