Windows

by

Krzysztof Wodiczko

Krzysztof Wodiczko's light boxes, installed in P.S. 24's windowless auditorium, were designed to create the illusion of five metal-framed windows with views. The artist based the images in the boxes on photographs of sunsets taken in Sunset Park, the neighborhood where the school is located. The light boxes turn on automatically when the auditorium lights are switched off, and darken when the lights are switched back on, maintaining the true character of windows in varying light conditions.
