AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL - LIGHT SCULPTURE
From visitor of an exhibition to eyewitness:“We shine a light into the darkness” – Amnesty International’s signature phrase is adapted to a light installation on the occasion of the Ai Weiwei exhibition in the Martin Gropius Bau in Berlin.
The light from a candle – the international symbol of hope and Amnesty International's figurative mark – is angled toward the sculpture in such a way that a human rights violation scene is projected onto the wall as a seemingly lifelike shadow. When a visitor steps up to the installation, changes in the lighting conditions turn them from neutral viewer to shocked eyewitness within mere seconds.
