Efterljus ("Afterlight") light
installation, by Lund art and design school, 29 Nov 2009 - 10 Jan 2010.
12 Deceember 2009: I need som
exercise after eating a small Christmas dinner in the restaurant boat
Swea in Helsingborg. From the train I'm going to Bantorget. This year's
lighting installation is called Efterljus ("Afterlight"), a play with
light and shadows. The spruce on Bantorget in green lighting looks
groomed out. Illuminated sails are stretched in the trees, with shadows
on the ground. From a tree, comes an indefinable sound. There are light
marks on the ground. I go to Västertull. On the path to
Västertull are light marks on the ground in different colors of
lights coming from the trees. The little square has also colors. A tree
casts a long shadow. Ghost figures lights up in the lawn. The
Trolleberg roundabout is decorated with cubes of different colors, they
light up every now and then. They are said to be synchronized with the
traffic, difficult to judge. In the chritsmas tree hangs reflectors
that shine in the pale light from car headlights. Sometimes the tree is
lit up. Could it not be a distraction and a danger to traffic? Walk to
Clemenstorget where I have my bike, and bikes home. The Light Spruce on
the roof of "Blocket" (= hospital) monitors everything.
