Jan Töve - Night Light

The images in "Night Light" are views of dormant small towns and communities
during bright nights and dark days. A street lamp, an illuminated window, a neon
sign or the light of a summer night sky that never completely fades out. And the
opposite: the winter season, when the darkness is grafted into days early.

Strolling around these night landscapes is a lonely walk. The empty streets, the
deserted park benches, the parked cars, the silence, gives a sense that time has
stopped, and that the surroundings await a new day's life and movement.

When you then look at the illuminated windows, the glimmer from TV screens, the
silhouettes of people, you are reduced to a viewer, a statist, without a role and a
reply. You are absorbed by the darkness, you become a shadow, a stranger. A moth
searching for light in a landscape that, compared to the daytime, completely has
changed character.
