With conection I not only made people look at and connect with the tree, but I also created an intimate spece in a rough industrial area.
In Copenhagen I created a light installation with hundreds of strings. Connecting the branches of the central tree with the ground, creating an intriguing pattern of parallel lines, in contrast with the organic form of the branches. I added diagonals to connect the tree with surrounding trees, to draw the gaze of the public even more to the top of the tree. Making them connect with the tree, with nature. Adding more strings to create an intimate space in the rough industrial area where it is located. Accompanied by meditative music by the Samenhang-couple Rob Verheul and Jeff Hijlkema on the hang drum. The Copenhagen Light Festival is on From January 31 to February 23 2025.
