‘Would you like that gift-wrapped?’ The act of wrapping is an art form. For the SolstiS festival which followed part of la Petite Ceinture (inner ring road), Jason Bruges Studio created an interactive lighting installation at Dexia Tower at Place Rogier. The structure was enveloped with the colours worn by the people of Brussels. The light ramp, a trompe l’oeil extension of the Dexia building facade, ‘pulled’ colours from individuals that pass in front of it, wrapping them onto itself and up the tower.
