Did you think that shadow can only have dark tones? Time Lapse Plant gathers colours from the viewer's shadow and puts them into motion. For Lux Helsinki, an interactive version of the work will be created, in which members of the public can experience what happens to their own shadows.
Time Lapse Plant provides a glimpse of the future: the work pushes the properties of modern LED lighting technology to the limits. It shows what low energy consumption and the light source's incredibly fast reaction times mean in practice.

Performance time: Daily from 5 pm to 10 pm
A citizen of Japan, Kinsei, aka Takayuki Fujimoto, has been exploring LED technology as a light source for many years. His works have taken the use of light into new territory, pushing the envelope in terms of how light can be used in conceptual art. He is a founding member of the artistic collective Dumb Type, formed in Kyoto, Japan, in 1984, and has acted as the lighting designer and technical director for almost all of the group's works.
