Monique Thomaes: art in public space
St. Andrieshospital
Tielt Belgium 2011
Competition
Art Work to the renovation from the Hospial
6 invited artists
Concept
The installation has two parts:
the light sculpture at the facade and at the entrance are communicating
with each other,
with the environment and
with the visitor.
The light sculptures behave as follows:
- in „rest” mode there is like a soft movement at the rythm of a quiet normal breathing
- in „active” mode the movement is following the steps of the visitors
The visitor becomes a part of the artwork:
he provokes the fast movement of the light sculpture, which thereafter returns to its „rest” mode.
