Neon / Light Sculptures by Max Wiedemann
2019/2021
In his sculptures from the series “IN CASE OF”, Max Wiedemann transforms everyday objects, tools, and 3-D items into LED light installations within Plexiglas cubes.
A golden shovel enclosed in a cube becomes the prompt: “IN CASE OF EMERGENCY BREAK GLASS.”
Wiedemann confronts us with our desires for security, the concept of the “HUG,” the themes of war and peace, and our self-perception.

With his current neon works, Max Wiedemann takes another step forward by combining modern, space-saving LED technology with handcrafted neon lettering. The classic form of advertising text receives a variable, individualized backlighting. Wiedemann takes it a step further toward “CLOSER TO GOD…”.
In the execution of these installations, he collaborates with the most professional lighting technicians from Neon Zentgraf. High quality and high aesthetic value are inseparable for Max Wiedemann, an approach appreciated by the collectors of these works.
