What is the role of light in an exhibition space? And how can we consciously work with it to support the narrative of the exhibition, emphasize the significance of the exhibits, create an atmosphere, or guide the attention of visitors? The publication Light and the Exhibition Space offers a comprehensive insight into lighting design in the context of exhibition design. It shows light as a malleable tool that can model space and message, participate in the visitor experience, and at the same time ensure conditions for the preservation of exhibits. It does not see it only as a technical necessity, but primarily as a means of presentation and storytelling. The author draws on her experience as a lighting designer and visitor to museums and galleries and shows how light influences the atmosphere and interpretation of an exhibition. She emphasizes the need for its thoughtful integration into architectural and curatorial thinking. The theoretical framework is complemented by case studies, interviews with practitioners, and analyses of specific exhibitions. The publication is intended for everyone who is interested in light, space, and visual storytelling within exhibition design.
