Izabella Pruska-Oldenhof’s work is inspired by the proto-cinema performances and artistic light technologies from around the turn of the 20th century. The enchanting Magic Fountain, a truly pointillistic spectacle, was created by subjecting footage of a light fountain in Barcelona to intense photochemical and digital processing.
