Splinters of Time is an installation where the changes of the water surface draws the light play on an installation of textile and wood, displaying the wave formations. The light play changes with the wind and weather, and was number 26 on the interactive map bylight.info.
There were also experiences of light during the day time with this art work: the shadows of the greenery on a sunny day, as well as the glimpses of colourful reflections on the small spheres hanging above the structure, are such subtle changing light plays on the white surface.
Thanks to everyone having sent me images and short videos of the installation!
