The bulbs can make us feel distant to others.
These are the artworks by Christian Boltanski, French artist.
The bulbs are synchronized to someone’s heartbeat who is in remote country.
When someone’s heart beats, each bulb blinks slowly or rapidly adjusting to the frequency of each heartbeat.
Each light bulb represents each person’s heartbeat. The blinks inside transparent sphere indicate strangers’ lives.
You will be moved by the peculiarity of feeling the heartbeats of someone you never know.
If all the bulbs were turned off, regardless of the heartbeats they are connected to. How would you feel about the bulbs?
