Light and everything that has to do with it has found its expression in literature. The theme is existential and extends from Goethe’s supposed last words to near-death experiences and scientific definitions through to the illumination of the »inner light,« depicted in Hermann Hesse’s story Siddhartha. The Karlsruhe actor and publicist Harald Schwiers has put together a broad selection of texts, from sensuous to humorous, on the theme of »light« for an enjoyable evening reading and will present them in the artificial light and unusual ambiance of the »Light Art« exhibition.
