Skylight

Skylight is like a breath of light pulsating in a light shaft at the Nya Karolinska Hospital, in Stockholm, Sweden. It reminds us, that all living creatures are dependent on light. Skylight consists of five large slices of light, with a sky on both sides.

In a subtle way Skylight imitates the variability of the sky during day and year. And with beautiful colour graduations it imitates the changes of daylight on the heaven. Furthermore Skylight replaces the lack of daylight in the light shaft and hereby mimics nature. The light changes from warm to cold colours.

Skylight is a meditative work with room for wonder and the installation adds an extra
dimension of filtered light intothe hospital.
