Ingo Wendt is a German artist and lighting designer whose work explores the intersections of analogue mechanics, movement, and perception. Using custom-built mechanical devices, rotating elements, and light as a material, Wendt creates installations that engage audiences physically and sensorially. His practice draws inspiration from early optical instruments and pioneers of kinetic and light art, blending technical precision with poetic playfulness to challenge conventional ways of seeing and experiencing space.
