LICHTJAHRE – Ikigai

LICHTJAHRE – Ikigai is a collage of items from Sabine von Oettingen’s working environments, fabric scraps and spools of thread. Sabine von Oettingen also gave her son, Fred Louis von Oettingen, her pension calculation statements and asked him – as a mathematician, physicist and artist – to draw up a calculation that would not only show a time factor based on her working life, but also visualise comprehensible lengths of time, right up to light years.
LICHTJAHRE – Ikigai is the essence of Sabine von Oettingen’s wonderful life.
