Self-Impact
Self-Impact is an installation / object on the theme of light pollution.
Light pollution refers to problems associated with public artificial lighting, which in current state often causes problems in the astronomical field (making it impossible to observe the night sky) but has also a negative impact on the natural life of flora and fauna on Earth, including the human health. Artificial lighting in cities is often too intense, concentrated and using an unnecessary amount of energy.
The conceptual work “Impact” looks in its rest state as a conventional mirror, reflecting the surrounding reality. As the viewer comes closer, the hidden layer of the object lights up, acting as a light source, and the object’s surface slowly changes from reflex to transparent. The closer the viewer is, the more intense the light is and the reflective ability of the subject gradually disappears.

Ahoj!
Po téměř 10 letech jsme se rozhodli uzavřít etapu naší spolupráce studia Herrmann & Coufal. Bylo to krásné a výživné. Teď cítíme, že pro osobní seberozvoj je potřeba následovat vlastní cesty. Není však vyloučené, že se opět protnou.
Jsme přesto stále otevření veškeré zajímavé spolupráci. Pokud máte zájem, stačí se ozvat na info@herrmanncoufal.com. My už vymyslíme, co dál.
Děkujeme všem, kteří s námi za ty roky spolupracovali.

Hello!
After almost 10 years we have decided to finish the project we called Herrmann&Coufal. It's been beautiful and nourishing. Now we feel that for personal self-development we need to follow our own paths. However, it is not impossible that they will intersect again.
We are still open to all interesting collaborations. If you are also interested, just get in touch at info@herrmanncoufal.com. We'll figure out what to do next.
Thanks to everyone who has worked with us over the years.
