Jenny Holzer's Krakow

Jenny Holzer is a modern artist who works with Projections, superimposing images in phrases onto landscapes using high intensity light. What's truly amazing about her work, as seen in this projection Krakow, is how well she matches her lights to the lights of the environment. This black and white photograph shows the intensity and tones of her projection in comparison with the natural city lights in the background. The two are almost indistiguishable, which makes the projection feel as if it is apart of the landscape. While it's obvious the words aren't coming from a building like the other lights in the scene, it still feels like the words are apart of the city as if they are the words of the city.
