Sophie Guyot holds a Master's degree in Art History and subsequently specialized in the design of light objects and installations. She works predominantly with the medium of light and is particularly interested in its spatial manifestations. In recent years, her practice has focused on monumental installations in urban spaces, exploring human attitudes toward biotopes. She is responsible for the internationally successful "Lamp-roller" lighting series, which has been produced in Switzerland since 1999. She presents her light works in both public spaces and galleries; they have been featured at numerous festivals and events. Additionally, she regularly conducts ecologically-focused workshops on the design of luminaires and installations.

Nadia Rungger studied German Literature in Graz and Applied Linguistics in Bressanone. She writes prose and poetry in German and Ladin and is interested in the interplay of language, space, and multilingualism. In 2020, her debut "Das Blatt mit den Lösungen. Erzählungen und Gedichte" (The Sheet with the Solutions. Stories and Poems) was published by Verlag A. Weger. Her texts have received multiple awards, most recently the Jury Prize of the Irseer Pegasus and the Literature Prize of the South Tyrolean Artists' Association 2024. In addition to publications in journals such as LICHTUNGEN, Schreibkraft, and Kulturelemente, she realizes interdisciplinary projects, including the Ladin-language play Morvëies, which premiered at the Bruneck City Theatre in 2024, as well as exhibitions featuring poetry in public spaces.
