Austrian artist and designer Manfred Kielnhofer has send us the following pictures of his new series of sculptures names Light Guards (also named as time guards) that incorporate polyester figures with energy saving light sources. The result is pretty spectacular and is based on German mythology…
According to German Mythology, “Historians and experts in new fields of science assume that the emerging of the Time Guardians is connected to warnings and control visits, respectively corrective actions. According to ancient scriptures it is “the time travelers” that find out the GOOD – BAD status of our actions and the recent condition of our planet to correct and restore it. What actions there are that protect the collective harmony is mostly still in the field of speculation; moreover that knowledge is beyond our understanding and human perception. The phenomenon was studied by the leading historians, sociologists, scientists of outer limits of knowledge and (para-) psychologists of all times but they found hardly any satisfying results. One general accepted theory is that our own motivation and the human actions themselves are the trigger for the working of the GUARDIANS. Through time they enter our world and always remain present to take record of our actions. Nobody can withdraw from their universal and objective valuations and guidance.”

Guardians of Time by Manfred Kielnhofer Settle in During Art Biennial Venice 2013
The „guardians of time“ are mystical sculptures who are travelling the worlds’ museums and exhibitions. Exclusively for Art Biennial Venice they made their journey to Italy. Each night they show up on a different spot in Venice. This unique light project is created by Manfred Kielnhofer.
The Guardians of Time are sculptures created by Manfred Kielnhofer (Austria). The story behind these mystique illuminated creatures is about observing the and protecting the world. The Guardians appear worldwide at historical important places and the community of international photographers following them gets bigger every day. The Guardians of Time on google images are producing incredible results.
For a new City Manfred Kielnhofer is producing its own group of unique Sculptures. They will appear every night at new place and the unique sculptures might stay in a local gallery. The new Project “Mini-Guardians” offer the chance to integrate a very special kind of photo competition too.

Manfred Kielnhofer:
“Mini Wächter” (2012)
Der österreichische Maler, Bildhauer und Fotograf Manfred Kielnhofer macht seit 2006 an verschiedenen Orten mit seinem “Wächter”-Projekt auf sich aufmerksam. Dabei postiert er fünf lebensgroße Wächterfiguren – in sich gewandte, ein wenig an mittelalterliche Mönche erinnernde Gestalten – für einige Zeit perfekt ausgeleuchtet in Museen und Ausstellungen, aber auch an ausgesuchten öffentlichen Plätzen. Dort nehmen sie, einer alten mystischen Vorstellung folgend, die Funktion von Geschichte und Weltenlauf beobachtenden “Zeitwächtern” ein und vermitteln dem Betrachter die Erkenntnis: Ein Jeder ist für die Geschehnisse seiner Zeit (mit)verantwortlich, jede unserer Taten wird von den “Wächtern” gesehen und bewertet.
Diese “Mini Wächter” stammen aus dem Jahr 2012 und nehmen das Konzept der Wächterfiguren in Form eines miniaturisierten Multiples noch einmal auf. Kunststoff lackiert. Wetterfest. Limitierte Auflage jeweils 500 Exemplare, signiert und nummeriert. Format je 35 x 52 x 32 cm (B/H/T). 3er-Set bestehend aus einem Wächter goldlackiert, silberlackiert und bronzelackiert.
