Dealing in Distance

Nindya Nareswari is an Indonesian light artist and designer based in Berlin (Germany). Her artistic practice delves into themes of human perception and ephemerality, using light as a universal yet profoundly personal medium to reevaluate how we engage with the world. At the core of her practice lies an experimental approach around the nature of time and space. She contrasts the intangible qualities of light with tangible materials to create ever-changing patterns, movements, and colours that challenge our visual perception. Her work ranges from light sculpture and light photography, to set design and light installation.

Nareswari’s artworks have been exhibited internationally including a group exhibition at Memphis Gardens, Melbourne (2018), Instrumenta Festival at National Gallery of Indonesia, Jakarta (2019), a site specific commission for Berlin Fashion Week (2019), Il Pianeta Festival, Milan (2021), and CTM Festival, Berlin (2025).
