GLOW Tricksters

GLOW Tricksters

Imagine this: a duo dressed in long coats moves through the darkness. Standing beside a light artwork, they begin to speak. About the depth and context of the work, the artist behind it, an anecdote or a little joke. These storytellers introduce you to light art. They invite you to look beyond what you see and encourage you to actively take part in the experience. Meet the GLOW Tricksters!

But then, as soon as you take out your phone and use the flash, the scene transforms. Their coats suddenly light up, transforming into a radiant work of art that brings the darkness to life. The power lies in your hands, and that is exactly what makes the Tricksters so special: without your interaction, they remain storytellers, waiting for the moment when you make them shine with a flash.

Dressed in reflective coats designed by Studio VOLLAERSZWART, you literally have “the power” to make them transform. Every encounter with the Tricksters therefore becomes a unique experience that you help create.
