After modern brightness: Ecologies of light

The Bauhaus Lab 2025 at the Bauhaus Dessau Foundation is a three-month research residency explores the hidden infrastructures of electric light—tracing its material, spatial, and political dimensions. The programme investigates how lighting technologies not only shaped modern architectural aesthetics but also redefined the relationship between light, darkness, and human perception. Focusing on historical objects like Marianne Brandt’s iconic pendant light and the industrial networks of OSRAM and AEG, the Lab opens questions around light pollution, sensory design, and future lighting ecologies. The residency culminates in a collective exhibition.
