Amsterdam Light Festival 2017 featured “MYTH”, a light artwork by Ben Zamora in Amsterdam. Ben Zamora has 1 more work in this atlas.
The lines continuously form new compositions, a system of words and punctuation – are you looking at cuneiforms, hieroglyphs or graffiti? Zamora appeals to our deeply anchored tendency to instantly recognise language; our human need to express ourselves in writing is ancient and universal.
About Ben Zamora
Ben Zamora's installation MYTH triggers a variety of instinctive associations. Horizontal, vertical and diagonal lines light up in a fixed grid and change in a rhythm that starts slowly but gradually becomes faster and faster.
