150,000 motorized mirrors reflect sunlight at the concentrated solar plant, located in the Mojave
Desert, Ivanpah in the U.S. The focused sunbeams of this area can reach temperatures of up to 1,000 degrees, attracting insects
that perish in the intense heat. The manifestation of Kathrin Stumreich’s investigation of this occurrence is a central piece
in her latest exhibition at discotec titeled; Mid-air collision.
During her on-site visit, she
amassed 10 terabytes of picture and video content, capturing observations of thermal activity, the color of the sky, and animal
behavior. The interaction between the natural environment and the infrastructure of renewable energy sources is central to
her multimedia installation.
