Merwede Licht Gedicht

Merwede Licht Gedicht | 2021

 

The Merwede Licht Gedicht hangs on the lampposts along a long cycle path, parallel to the Merwede Canal.

Sixty-five panels with a palindromic poem by Utrecht poets Anne van der Kruis and Tom Strik. The panels, provided with iridescent foil, react in the dark with light animations to the movements of passers-by.

The city that is constantly in motion, which is central to the poem, is also literally reflected in the operation of the panels.
The artwork is climate-neutral: the lighting works on solar panels, the installation is completely energy-neutral and made from as many
recycled materials as possible.

Merwede Licht Gedicht was made on behalf of Ondernemersfonds Merwede, Transwijk & Co
