On the façade of the apartment block 'Noorderlicht Nova' in Hoorn, next to the railway, the work SOUL is realised. Six lines of light, divided into segments of two metres each and with a total length of fifty metres, form a frieze on the second floor of the building, depicting the rhythms of daily life.
Abstracted figures stand still, stroll, run, and drive by. They meet each other, and turn around, while from time to time a train passes through. The work draws on the daily rhythms that are stimulated by the urban environment. They are the “soul” of the neighbourhood.
The work was commissioned by the housing corporation Intermaris en the municipality of Hoorn. The animations for the work were made in collaboration with Mila Baumann, and realised by Yens & Yens.
