BACK LIGHT

 

An intervention in an art gallery. This work was not part of a gallery exhibition. With transparent phosphorescent paint I covered an existing tube light of this particular gallery. When the gallery was open, the light of the tube light fed the phosphorescent paint. After closing time the tube light remained glowing in the dark for a while. The gallerist was not aware of this specific intervention.
