Guidance

Site-specific light artwork
for tunnels in Brandbergen, Haninge, Sweden
Commissioned by Haninge municipality
Completed 2020

GUIDANCE is a permanent light intervention devoted to the children's words and the children's world with the intention of creating optimistic and inspiring light spreaders in the unsafe places of suburban area Brandbergen in Stockholm. Work was commissioned by Haninge municipality and realised in the collaboration with school children from Brandbergen.

GUIDANCE uses aesthetics of commercial communication, by being performed in light-sign technology, but instead of offering advertising, the artwork highlights the children's imaginative and futuristic attitude. The ambition was to create light spreaders with thought-provoking and hopeful messages. Phrase selection is connected to these specific selected locations and to tunnels that symbolise movement, time passing or transition from one phase of life to another.
