Former Post Office headquarters, Coolsingel, Rotterdam,
2007
The main hall of the former Post Office, 22m high, 40m deep and 20 m wide, is undone of its remaining corporate interior. Stripped to its original state, as architect Kees Bremer (1880-1949) intended in 1923, the hall is emptied and its glass roof is blacked-out; nine HMI Spots, computer-controlled, installed directly above the interior glass domed ceiling mimic the blink of an eye in slow motion; duration of light sequence is three minutes and then is looped.
