Dag Engström visual designer

My ideas about light, is that light is used to reveal things and transfer information. How much and what kind of light you add, alters the way of and the art of information transferred to the spectator. Light can be the most subtle expression on -for example- a stage, something you don't really see, but just feels... Or, as well, extreme contrasts, as between complete darkness and brightest light!

I am doing light design for a broad spectrum areas, both commercial, as Fairs, Events and Conferences, or in Arts, as performances in Theatre, Dance and Opera. I am also, since -99, working with video presentation, in firsthand for occasions like for light. I have been doing video for both Theatre, Dance, Conference, as for Club(VeeJaying).

Started working with light at a touring theatre company in late -83, since that working as freelancing Lightdesigner and Lightningdirector at various theatres in Stockholm.
