This exhibition featured a moving light installation by the artist duo Children of the Light, accompanied by an organic composition from organist and composer Jacob Lekkerkerker. The artwork explored themes of light, gravity, time, and space during the 'blue hour'.
Between Light was a dynamic light artwork created by the artistic duo Children of the Light, complemented by an evolving musical composition by organist and composer Jacob Lekkerkerker. Visitors could experience this work during the 'blue hour,' a period of twilight, with the restored Vater Müller-orgel resonating through the monumental church space. The 25-meter long light installation, described as a hanging line naturally curved by gravity, appeared to float. Initially seeming static, the light moved smoothly, creating a mesmerizing effect. The 24-minute series was a carefully balanced choreography of gravity, time, and space, designed to hypnotize viewers and provoke reflection on cycles of disappearance and return, day and night, and the stable rhythm of sunrise and sunset.
