Eternal Sundown
Mads Vegas
Eternal Sundown is the urban sun of the future. Also the future of Almere, a future of natural growth. Above the Weerwater lake, the work of art on the Lumière Bridge is a technological sun at night and, indeed, one that can only be fully experienced after sunset. This work of art consists of dozens of coloured fluorescent lights - a spectacular sight, with its magical reflections in the Weerwater and its post-apocalyptic presentation of the clash of light and environment.
Precisely because of the darkness of the city, this artwork makes one think about the sun in future, more technological times. Times in which we might altogether replace natural light with technological light.
Eternal Sundown was presented in collaboration with Light Art Collection.
