Sint-Petrusbasiliek
You can spot them from afar: the fairytale-like, colorful figures that take over the tower of the Oirschot basilica during GLOW. The swirling projection is an infectious potpourri of imagination, history, myth, site-specific elements and dreamscape. You can gaze at it for a long time, lose yourself in it a little. You drift off, discover new details and zoom out again. For a moment, you are simply here, just watching. Until someone taps you on the shoulder to move along. Enjoy.
The Oirschot-based artist Maartje Meerman created this double analogue (pani) projection especially for GLOW. She painted the image on a glass slide. The result is what you now see before you, projected in giant format onto the tower of St. Peter’s Basilica. For the artist, the meaning of light and the tower as a connection between heaven and earth served as key sources of inspiration. But the story is not fixed: the artist invites you, the viewer, to give it your own meaning. That fits perfectly within the spirit of GLOW. We cannot exist without our visitors and the wishes, thoughts and stories they create around the light installations. Together we make GLOW. What does this work mean to you?
