Blackbox is a small version of the installation “The Other Side of Midnight” a circle of 300 cm diameter where the front side features over 2000 hand painted stainless steel butterflies and the other side features insects. The installation is viewed in a dark room, lit by ultraviolet light projectors. Blackbox makes the circle glow in the dark and gives to it an impression of 3 dimensions.
