The beguiling installation Lightscape is composed of two lightboxes filled with a disturbing twinkling light and audio waves emanating at the viewer from all sides. The impression of a hallucination is created by a stroboscopic effect that forms an illusion of various light shapes and patterns. As a result, visitors may explore the infinite intricacy of their own vision.
The Dutch artist Matthijs Munnik often uses the most modern technologies in his work, combined with contemporary scientific discoveries, whereas light and its effect on the viewer play a fundamental role in his projects. In the past, his works have earned the Prix Cube 2013 and nominations for the Rotterdam Design Award in 2012. In 2015 he was nominated for an International Light Art Award, bestowed by the International Centre for Light Art in Unna, Germany along with the RWE Foundation.
