THE FRAGMENTS | Sedemminut

An almost hypnotic journey through shape and light, where simple geometry illustrates the complexity of urban growth. In this installation, rectangular shapes become the building blocks of a visual narrative, delineated by lines that span parts of the space both horizontally and vertically.

MOREELSEBRUG | Peter Vink

Between the stairs of the Moreelsebrug on the Jaarbeurs side stands a tower of light in scaffolding. The scaffolding serves as a beacon of light symbolizing the city’s transformation: a place under construction. The vertical lines of light collectively form a space and establish a relationship with the immediate surroundings of the artwork.

MEGA VIKI | Viktor Frešo

Mega Viki (feci) by Viktor Frešo is a large, glowing balloon featuring a basic design of eyes and a mouth – a self-deprecating and irreverent work about the artist’s ego. Frešo intended it as his self-portrait, and the resemblance to his facial features is indeed striking.
