Judith Herzberg, Karel Martens Now Everything Is As It Is ... (2008)

Now that everything is as it has become, now that everything is as it is, it will eventually, although perhaps even though, be all right. These lines of poetry can be read on the facade of the Erasmus MC - Sophia Children's Hospital at the Museum Park. This light installation was put into operation on February 7, 2008 at 17 pm by poet Judith Herzberg. The lines come from the poem written by her Daylight. The work forms a visual connection between Erasmus MC and the Museum Park and consists of alternating white and blue lights, which are beautifully placed in the facade wall and light up at night. Designer Karel Martens designed this fascinating work of art. The application of lines of poetry that refer to what happens behind the facade is an initiative of Erasmus MC and carried out in collaboration with CBK Rotterdam. The work was realized in collaboration with Poetry International, Bouwfonds Cultuurfonds, Sophia Children's Hospital Foundation, Mondriaan Foundation and Erasmus MC Housing Department.
