In the Light

Lambda C-print (from a slide), 80x80 cm, 2025

In recent years, almost all lighting fixtures in public spaces have been equipped with LED technology. The main advantages of LEDs are their high light efficiency and greater sustainability. This technology has primarily replaced sodium vapour lamps, which are known for their distinctive yellowish light. This type of lighting has now almost completely disappeared from public spaces. The photographic work ‘In the Light’ shows a plant in an urban space illuminated by a street lamp by a sodium vapour street lamp. The image captures a lighting atmosphere that is still familiar to us, but which is already inherently anachronistic.
