For the annual light show, organised by The Hague Highlights in collaboration with Mr.Beam, 15 artists were selected via Open Call to create work for the Escher Palace façade. I was one of the lucky few, opening the show with a 1 minute visual homage to Escher's surrealist thinking.
In the work ‘Seeing is believing’ we explore Escher's experience, where we observe the world through his eyes. His reality was not decided by the physical aspects of the world but by the emotional perception of it. Shapes transform into figures and tesselate into one another, like memories astray.
