Ice Light, Vancouver

Info

At the edges of the buidling white LED light lines are installed. Every hour a visual spectacle takes place—as it is well-known of historic City Halls: Over a period of 1 minute the white lines are set in motion so that they appear like a water fall of light. Afterwards calm is restored: The frozen light lines accentuate the horizontal, downwelling character of the building.
The work refers to Vancouvers' special characteristic: a modern industrial city surrounded by wild and pristine nature.
