Daniel Lergon shows works painted with transparent lacquer on a retroreflective fabric, a high- tech material with special optical properties. Different to a mirror the light is reflected back to the light source. The spectator who finds himself in the track between light source and painting can recognize a weak glow or "heiligenschein" around the shadow of his own head.
