The expansive sculptures and video installations of Grimanesa Amoros have already been shown all over the world: from Mexico to Tel Aviv and from Beijing to Times Square in New York. She presented her latest works, "OCUPANTE" and "GOLDEN SECRET ROOM", In the Ludwig Museum Koblenz. The artist creat es playful light installations which are so enigmatic that they permit interpretations on different levels.
