IN LOVE WITH TOMORROW
Spaces within spaces: the architectural trademarks of our store. Four vibrant displays connect the energy of Vienna’s city center to Swarovski’s radiant shopping experience. They transcend mere decoration to become genuine platforms for artistic creativity.
IN LOVE WITH TOMORROW depicts nature as a holistic network. This is where understanding elemental theory may prove useful – not as a scientific framework, but as a way to see the complete picture. This thought-provoking moment at the heart of urban restlessness is meant to reflect our longing for natural balance,” says light artist Susanne Rottenbacher of her inspiration. Her installation comprises LED light strips and 2.5 million Swarovski crystals that sparkle in strong monochromatic colors, captivating guests with its dynamic feel. Upon closer inspection, details within the piece reveal complexities and a feeling of sensuality.
Susanne Rottenbacher, born in Göttingen, Germany in 1969, studied at Barnard College at Columbia University in New York and at the Bartlett School of Architecture and Planning in London. She initially worked as a set designer at the Deutsche Oper Berlin and as a lighting planner at the Licht Kunst Licht design studio where she codeveloped the lighting design for the Federal Chancellery and other governmental buildings in Germany.
She has been working as a freelance light artist since 2004. Her expansive installations consist of sculptural bodies that are lit up using lights. They are characterized by lightness and transparency and react sensitively to space and daylight. She has received several awards and grants for her work.
