|3| ALL THE LIGHT YOU SEE
Alicia Eggert, TEXAS in Collaboration with Light Art Collection
LOCATION: Georgetown Waterfront Park (Near Intersection of Wisconsin Ave & K St NW)
Light takes a moment to travel from one point to another, and to reach our eyes. The travel time varies – from eight minutes for the light from the sun to reach the earth, to millions of years from a star at the edge of our universe. This means that the information that light brings us is always dated. This is the focus of All the Light You See; a poetic statement written in light that changes meaning with a small intervention. Part of the text in “All the Light You See is From the Past” occasionally switches off, simplifying the message to “All You See is Past.” The installation is a reflection on mortality, reminding us that in no time at all, we, too, will belong to the past. |
