The graffiti in the daylight is one image, while in the night it transforms into something else under the UV light. Although the main motif remains, the image shows parts hidden during the day. The combination of different light sources and reflective elements invests it with a new life, and it can also become a testing field for the creation of lighting graffiti, which disappear during the day and reoccur every night in a new form. It exemplifies a living, changing entity.

 

The final act is a photograph capturing the lighting graffiti together with other lighting items (different lamps and lighting sources) around a human body and the caricatured image featured on the graffiti. The photograph is made with the long exposure: the shooting time is long enough that it allows us to capture the ‘drawing’ with light.

 

The idea comes directly from shimmering: something being alive and changing. And something that needs to be documented in order that the image remains. It is good to use more lights, to experiment with the final result, to record the changes throughout the day. Transition within one day. The graffiti disappears. Painted over. A new one replaces it.
