Step into the Light

Papenhof

Step into the spotlight, pause for a moment, look up and around you. What do you feel? Chances are this light artwork will overwhelm you, like a bright tidal wave. The work is monumental, and you are right at the heart of it. It is your experience—together with the experiences of all the other visitors—that brings this piece to life. The interaction between light and people, between what you see and what you feel: here it all comes together.

Walk beneath the work, move around it: view it from different perspectives. Follow the beams of light upward, into the dark sky and the clouds, where they burst apart into tiny explosions of light. Together, the radiant beams form the pillars of a new, temporary structure. A solid construction made of light. Step into the Light consists of individually controlled lamps, with which the artist creates shifting light patterns and a surprising play of lines. With the addition of sound, rhythm, speed, and an infectious energy emerge.
