THE ILLUMINATOR Debuts

Produced by German lighting designer Gerd Pfarré and graphic designer and ad agency owner Frank Koschembar, THE ILLUMINATOR is a new 100 x 70 cm magazine about the role of light in culture, art, architecture and design. The magazine, which recently debuted with its first issue (and which subsequently received a glowing review in THE NEW YORK TIMES), is published in German and English.

From the editors:

“In the first issue of ILLUMINATOR molecular biologist Heike Körber provides a fascinating insight into the future of bioluminescent light sources. Berlin artist Anne Kathrin Greiner presents several of her ″Disziplinierten Räume″ (Disciplined Spaces), photographs, which have a special charm all of their own. Readers can also see a breathtaking stage set by Max Keller, the master of theatrical lighting. Gerd Pfarré met the ″poet of light″ Ingo Maurer for a friendly interview over a Fernet, and Mark Major, one of the most successful lighting designers in the world, has written a very personal and exclusive report for the first issue. Last but not least: James Turrell. Never before have his works been displayed as generously as in ILLUMINATOR!”

The magazine sells for 49 euros per copy. For more information, click here.
