The multi-part series «Black Light» by Brigitta Malche deals with the theme of Genesis. For the artist, black light forms the «spaces of all possibilities» from which materialization emerges. While letters and texts refer to the history of creation, Malche instead connects the numbers with science codes. In this sense, she also understands vertebrae and spine as an energy connecting human and the cosmos.
