Details

Head to the Esplanade at Long Bridge Park to see our latest installation in the Turn Up the Love series: Eternal Sundown. This installation looks like a setting sun over a city through 140 fluorescent lights in powerful colors. The Copenhagen-based artist, Mads Vegas, deliberately used materials that give the work a post- apocalyptic feel as a commentary on pollution and air quality in cities.

Eternal Sundown is made from approximately 140 reused fluorescent tubes that were originally a part of a pavilion build for the COP15 climate summit in Copenhagen 2009.
