Shattered Shadows

In the entrance hall to the Heuvel on the Market Square, between the Muziekgebouw and Holland Casino, reflective sheets hang. Light bundles from various directions shine their light onto these reflective sheets.

This shatters the light, creating exceptional fragments of light and shadows on the ground, walls and ceiling. This fragmentation of the light is amplified by the many glass surfaces in the facades and in the skylights.

As different spotlights shine on the sheets, a dynamic pattern of crystalline forms of light and dark appear.

Har Hollands, light architect from Eindhoven and former curator of GLOW, returns to GLOW. During former editions with amongst others projections at the Hooghuis building (Light over Matter) and the light artwork Origin – a collection of luminous lines across a park at Regentkwartier.
