This fire-inspired artwork was constructed on-site with silver bamboo poles and various types and sizes of meteor LED tubes. It speaks to the symbolism of fire.

The Dutch artists Paul Vendel and Sandra de Wolf have been inseparable since they met during their studies in audiovisual art and photography at the Gerrit Rietveld Academy. They have been working together as Vendel & De Wolf for 25 years. They create mainly site-specific work, drawing on the physical, social, cultural and historical contexts in which the work is exhibited. They refer to their work as ‘growing structures’ that reveal the beauty of existing issues.
