Glitter Marking the Old City Wall ( Glitterstenen markering oude stadswal)

About this artwork.

In the pavement on Pelsterstraat, look down at your feet and marvel at the glitter that appears at irregular intervals. Many passers-by walk over these stones without even noticing where they’re placing their feet. Until the sun shines and the stones begin to sparkle. 

The hologram-effect these stones radiate allows these inanimate objects to change shape and depth. Each one is handmade by the artist and contains a special mixture of resin, colour pigments and glitter. These glitter stones do more than just sparkle, however. They also mark the route of the old city wall.
