History is not a line
Light Festival Ghent 2021 featured “History is not a line”, a light installation in Ghent.
Portus Ganda is the place where the rivers Lys and Scheldt meet. Now it’s a place where pleasure craft are moored, but it used to be a major commercial hub and seaport. The lit silhouettes of Ghent buildings, both existing ones and buildings that have disappeared, bring this rich past back to life.
