‘ The lights of the skyline, ignited by humans, are reflected in the water, distorted by the ripples of the wind. Unintended art on the water finds a stage on land. ’
Weerlicht
live video, 14 led towers — 2024
architecture, installation, video art
Weerlicht showcases water reflections created by the city's skyline in a theatrical landscape of fluid light lines. They echo our presence. The light streaks, shown live and realtime, are influenced by both the weather and human actions. Rain turns the light into almost digital noise, while wind distorts the lines with small waves. Car headlights, boats and swimming ducks alter and disrupt the reflections. The water surface is constantly in motion.
The large installation plays with the blurring of boundaries between analog and digital, raising questions about human impact on the natural landscape. The light streaks, arising from human activity, can be seen as light pollution, but they also reveal beauty.
