2015 - International Year of Light
The installation, designed to celebrate the International Year of the Light, aims to make visitors wonder about the use of the light during the day, not taking advantage of natural light. The core consists of tubular lamps arranged vertically and spaced one centimeter, illuminated during the day by a central skylight, gives the visitor the idea that the lights are on, but quickly they realize that it is the sun that illuminates the space . This action can withdraw a question: aren't we all wasting too much energy when we have other solutions?
At night, the lights turn on and illuminate the core and the exhibition, placed in the ambulatory around it, which informs us about the concept of light and the different ways in which we can look at it.

The core is composed of tubular lamps that are connected by a conventional electrical installation.
should we waste so much artificial light?
