Turn Off The Light, For A Starry Night

A week collaborative work with my friends, Sophie, Olivia and Marisa. We had to come up with a manifesto for a cause. After doing some research, we realised that light pollution in the UK is one of the severe problems which we have to be aware of. A thorough research was performed to see which city in the UK is worst impacted - London.

The light pollution has created red coloured sky thus less stars are seen at night.

Our manifesto is to encourage people to turn off the lights and bring back all the stars.

The statement of "Turn off the lights, for a starry night" was written in constellation style above our studio ceiling.

We used glow in the dark spray paint to write out our manifesto and covered the entire ceiling with small glow in the dark dots to imitate stars - thus when you look up the ceiling in the dark, it feels like you are looking at a sky full of stars; the excitement of seeing that many stars would make one understand our aim.
