A longing for wonder
Lichtzoekers are life-size representations of real people, installed on facades and rooftops. They appear to be climbing upward in search of light and sight, often caught in difficult or uncomfortable positions.
This project expresses a fear of falling into the grey. At the same time, it reflects a longing for wonder. Dreaming of what lies beyond the blind wall or high rooftop. It's the dream of a wondrous horizon, knowing that place might not truly exist.

A Lichtzoeker on your facade?
Do you live in Brussels and would you like a (free) sculpture on your facade? Or do you live in another city, but your facade is too iconic not to install a Lichtzoeker? Send an email to send@sennedehandschutter.com
