The human being is drawn to the sea. Some explain it with our ancestors' deep
dependence on the waterhole or shore for their survival. The fact is that our
sensory experience of the sea has a positive effect on our well-being. In the
winter darkness, however, many of the water's visual qualities disappear. The
water becomes a dark surface which reflects the surrounding lighting in the form
of illuminated signs, street lights etc.
The temporary light installation Water Walk brings the color qualities of the sea
in daylight to life by enveloping Lille Langebro in a palette of blue-green nuances
and warm strokes with reference to the sparkling play of sunlight on the surface.

When you move over Lille Langebro, you can experience a feeling of being in
the water while the bridge from a distance will be reflected in the water's
surface and for a while give the water back its nuances in the daylight.
