“Reciprocity” is the ACT Lighting Design’s project created and installed for the Solstis Lumière d’artistes festival in Brussels in 2008- 2009. The principle of reciprocity is based on 3 essential moments: giving, receiving and returning. Putting into relationship the traditional (end of year) exchange of presents and the exchange between people and cities, the artist wanted to develop a lighting installation for uptown based on these 3 principles. The journey started from the “Porte de Namur” where light cubes fell out from the sky, the stroller was guided through light trees to the ‘Place Stéphanie”, to a sculpture composed of a mountain of cubes for Brussels. This light energy was given and shared.
