Tracks of light

Tracks of light. 2012.

Amsterdam Centraal turns into a theatre of light after dark. The long exposure reveals ribbons of colour sliding along the tracks and roads, wrapping themselves around the curved terminal roof. In the distance, the IJ River holds a softer echo of the city, pooling neon and sodium light into slow, painterly streaks. It feels like watching a living circuit board, every tiny movement feeding the larger glow of the city.
