Arvid Henkes specializes in creating large-scale graphics, designing photo artwork and objects using 3D printing materials. A fascination with the universe has given rise to the artist's series of artworks inspired by the solar system.
Arvid Henkes zooms in on the universe and utilizes technology to create planetary systems - 3D projections in sensor-controlled light boxes - as a metaphor for human dreams.
As the viewer approaches the work, a light is illuminated, confronting the viewer with a dreamlike vision that encourages bold fantasies of life on distant planets. The artist tries to make this life visible in an indirect rather than frank way.
