Amsterdam Light Festival · 2020
The Biggest, Smallest Heroes
Ilse Kok, Kawita ten Kate and Renée Westland created “The Biggest, Smallest Heroes”, a light artwork shown at Amsterdam Light Festival 2020 in Amsterdam, Netherlands.
You may not see it, but there's a war going on! A very important war in the microscopic kingdom of viruses and bacteria, which inspired Breitner Academy students Kawita, Renee and Ilse to create this artwork. The starring role is played by the T4 virus, which attacks the dangerous E. coli bacteria with its "soldiers".
