Faces of Light

László Zsolt Bordos (Hungary)

Faces of Light is a site-specific installation. Projectors cast portraits of people involved in the events of autumn ’89 onto the windows. Beams of light extend into the public space, connecting the façade, projection and audience. The installation responds directly to the site’s architectural features and translates the events of the Peaceful Revolution into a spatial image.
