A starting point for this project was Van Rosegaard’s Van Gogh Path, a street with stones that store light during the day and glow at night. We were captivated by the elegance and simplicity of Van Gogh Path. The joy of discovery is ingrained in us. But what is there to discover in a street that you cross every night? May be the answer is the hussle and bussle of daily commotion, while you are away in an office. During the day cameras capture people’s motion on the street. The motion will be translated into a light projection onto the street at night. However, this light will not recount every passerby’s journey one by one. It is the aggregate story of the whole street. So for there to be any light at night, there must have been at least two people, crossing each other’s paths. And it is exactly the story of this overlap of people’s lives that the street tells. The more prominent a color area, the more paths have crossed each other.
