The Ramshorn Gardens were enhanced with a contemplative trail of light. Selected trees and features were highlighted to draw the observer through the gardens.

The light levels were kept intentionally low to retain atmosphere and encourage a sense of tranquillity and enquiry. Pale, bleak colours and interactive shadow play encircled the inner walls of the cemetery, in contrast to the rich, warm colours and flickering candlelight within the centre area of the gardens known as “Paradise”.

The effect was at once intriguing, contemplative, and vaguely disturbing!

The entire installation was lit with equipment from the nva organisation Environmental Lighting Kit (ELK), a low-energy battery powered lighting system.
