Artist Statement:

Follow the light is a kinetic light art installation resembling a giant metal marble track with an infinite loop. The luminescent spheres will capture your focus and make you want to follow the light. The excitement is rising when a sphere starts its way up on the four-meter-high lift. When it is finally released at the top, visitors will be hypnotized by its journey through the dazzling installation. The different spheres together form a unique universe where the light continues to move infinitely, creating a visual mix of colors as they spin through the track.
