Trace
Small
DETAILS
Using photoluminescent pigments in combination with silicon and silicon rubber, hand-made photoluminescent skins are produced to convert the unseen spectrum of sun energy into visible light. As darkness descends, a ghostly light trace is revealed as the concentration of photoluminescent minerals radiates recycled light energy in the form of an intense ambient glow. Trace invites a reflection on innovative approaches to illuminating outdoor spaces, considering how the environment can take new forms and materialities in the dark. The project wants to question urban lighting design, asking whether public spaces necessarily need high energy volumes to be managed over night.
Making and delivery
