The Amsterdam Light Festival has been a part of the European culture for more than six years. During winter, artists come from different parts of the world to create unique light exhibitions. The aim of this is to inspire fellow artists as well as visitors.
This year, British artist Gali May Lucas participated in the festivities. He worked with sculptor Karoline Hinz and created statues that feature people focused on their smartphones with the light illuminating their faces. This installation was titled “Absorbed by Light.”
Lucas wanted to create art that everyone can relate to. More and more people are lost in their smartphones on the tram, on park benches, and even in restaurants. The sculptures show how lost people can be while using their mobile devices. He adds a white light and noise to perfect the work of art.

If you are visiting Amsterdam soon, you can visit the Hermitage to see it for yourself.
