LET THERE BE LIGHT

Image
Last year I went to the EDF in August to see « Alive ». It was a fascinating experience which you may like to check out again before going on with this chapter. LOOKING AT OUR FUTURE ALIVE NEW DESIGN FRONTIERS; EDF Foundation 

The Foundation should be easy to find, but somehow they had« moved it » in the last couple of weeks, as every time I went - I couldn’t find it. Today I did. 

This time the exhibition was called « Let there be Light » presented by an agency called Vitra Design. It’s a wide panorama of over some 200 objects taking us through the history of light. I think we all take turning on a light switch as very normal today. Even changing fuses is simple. It wasn’t when I first arrived in Paris and somehow I turned the whole building into blackness. The guardian told me to never touch electricity again. I didn’t.  I don’t. We start right at the beginning of « light ». A collection of light bulbs.       Advertisements.
