Yann Kersalé is French conceptual artist who has worked with light for over 20 years. He is one of the best lighting artists in the France and his work added a lot to the school of modern French light art.

He is fascinated by the way things which appear so normal, so common-place during the day. Which can take on a different personality at night. And what interests him is that the night is an area of life that is different from the one to which we are accustomed.

He said that “You can see an object, a building every single day. But then at night it can suddenly become completely different.”

I completely agree with him because as i searched for interesting lighting i saw the huge difference between how they appear in day time and how they appear at night. Some buildings or monuments has even a type of lighting that changes depending on the weather or the time. These changes makes you wonder how a change in the intensity of the light or the color of the light can make such difference on the way it appears and the way humans may feel toward the same building.
