About

As Light Goes By is a small installation made for the Mix it up! exhibition, which took place at the National Gallery of Denmark in May 2015. The exhibition was organized in collaboration with the Europeana Creative project and 13 artist and designers were invited to remix artworks from the National Gallery using their public domain image collection. My source of inspiration was Vilhelm Hammershøi’s (1864-1916) painting called "Interior in Strandgade, Sunlight on the Floor" (1901). While capturing a particular moment, the painting also conveys the passage of time. Intrigued by this atmosphere, I built an electromechanical machine which plays a repeating scene of light and sound.
