LightArt Kijkduin
Illuminated glass globes of different colors and sizes, measuring between 20 and 40 inches in diameter, are spread along the dunes and natural elements of Kijkduin, the southern beach resort of The Hague, Netherlands for the LightArt Kijkduin Biennial. The orbs of light constantly change their colors after the sun sets in the evening. Even during the daytime, when the lights are not lit, the white globes create an unreal and strange calming effect. Context plays a big role with the emotional sensations of the pixels. Located near the water, they take on a very organic mood, as if they are cellular life-forms that have washed ashore. Across the river is an industrial park which adds a new contextual dimensional to the globes. They take on a toxic connotation as they glow and the factories in the distance pump-out smoke.
