IN THE LIGHT OF THE NIGHT

Special exhibition, 2020,
at Marta Herford

The scenography reproduces the twilight generated by electric light as it transforms the night, robbing it of the confines of total darkness. In Frank Gehry’s cathedral time seems to have frozen at the blue hour between sunset and nocturnal darkness, while the orange hues in the last room create the impression of daybreak. Texts on posters are lit up by advertisement illumination; the cables remain visible in reference to the use of electricity.
