The Walk

The Walk

Town hall

‘The Walk’ has a diameter of 2.5 metres and consists of 5,000 pixels, with a total of 35,000 LED lights.

The Walk is an object and, at the same time, a circular screen showing a 7.5 minute video loop. With the intense red glow of its 35,000 LED lights, Titia Ex’s artwork creates a mesmerising interplay of colour and movement. The viewer becomes intrigued by the movement and the images, in which a story seems to unfold without ever fully revealing itself.

Flames and figures carrying torches appear and disappear on The Walk, like an endless procession. For these images, Ex drew inspiration from Dante’s journey from hell to purgatory, purification and paradise: from darkness into light.

The spherical shape invites you to walk around the work, to move closer and then step back again, without being able to tear yourself away from the light. And that is exactly what the artist intends.

About the artist

Titia Ex

Visual artist Titia Ex works with light. She creates her work as sculptural installations in spatial environments. Most of Ex’s artworks are created for specific locations, both in urban and natural landscapes. Each setting poses a particular question that the artist explores, developing possible answers. Her responses offer a tangible way to experience a location differently through light sculptures.

She creates an experience while demonstrating a strong sense of aesthetics. With her work, Titia Ex searches for a personal, expressive form of beauty. Above all, she stimulates the viewer’s sensory curiosity.

Her work has been exhibited around the world, including in Tokyo, New York, Istanbul and London. Her work is also part of various collections, including the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam and The Donnell Library for the Performing Arts in New York City.
