Title:  Light Installations in ten Towers

Description:           
reliefs of copper and brass facing south are situated at the top of the light wells, which form the center of each of the ten towers. 30 meter below, at the indoor walkway, which connects these ten towers, sculptures are placed at strategic positions. Once a year sunlight reflected by the reliefs will reach these sculptures, melting both parts of the light installations into a single piece of art. These special events are the essence of the project.
