Amsterdam Light Festival 2019 featured “Butterfly Effect”, a light artwork by Masamichi Shimada in Amsterdam. Masamichi Shimada has 2 more works in this atlas.
Seven gigantic butterflies have landed on the surface of the canal. The butterflies not only rise and fall with the movement of the water caused by passing boats, but their wings glow blue against the dark night. At first sight, the artwork seems to portray a peaceful, almost magical scene.
