Peter Koraca - The blog

I have been at this workshop about light art (a small part of big Philips lighting festival in Vejle) this week. The mentors Thorbjørn and Elle-Mie did The Clock and the Sunrise and Sunset piece. We, the students, decided to make the Tree of Shadows.

From the experiments of the first evening we got some ideas for our project. We definitely wanted to play with the shadows and Philips wanted us to light the trees (boooooring), so we thought about getting two birds with one stone. I had an idea with creating this big white box around the tree and lighting the tree from inside so we would get some wicked psychedelia shadows on the walls (like the once from the experiments). The problem was we didn’t have enough time, money or will power to create the construction for it. So we decided just to wrap the tree all around and just put some lights inside and hope for the best.
