The influence of humans on the landscape is more visible and tangible than ever. Starry skies, and especially the Milky way, can only be admired from a few places.
To appreciate the beauty of the night, you need to go in search of darkness. A dark night contributes to a unique natural experience. Unfortunately, much of the Netherlands is bathed in a sea of artificial light at night.
The Netherlands is one of the most light-polluted countries in the world. To my mind, light pollution is an undervalued topic in our current exploration of climate issues.
About the artist
Tessa van Rijn (1988) is a photographer and graduated in 2017 at the Royal Academy of Visual Arts. Based on experiments and science studies, I investigate the relationship between mankind, technology and nature. Within these fields, I focus on the influence of mankind on its natural surroundings. Especially for GLOW and in the ‘city of light’ Eindhoven, I challenged myself to create a light artwork which focused on the shadow (dark) side of our light behavior.
GLOW Eindhoven exists thanks to special collaborations and tailor-made partnerships
