Maaria Wirkkala: BLIND WALL

Forgotten surfaces in the cityspace when darkness falls, 1999

Aim: to use light to pick out of the cityscape surfaces and shapes that are not normally open to the gaze, either because of their location or their inexpressiveness.

- to make the insignificant remarkable.
