Las Vegas, Brighton and Barcelona,

very different Cities and more so at night. However as darkness descends

on these Cities a transformation happens to all of them and another picture

emerges. The kitsch and garish Las Vegas, is saturated with colourful light and

reflections, what seemed plastic and false during the harsh dessert light at

daytime, becomes glamorous and sparkly at night.Brighton’s night face shows

some of this sparkle as well, but as the bright spots are not all together, graphic

images emerge with shapes of colour set against a very black night sky. Darkness

can cause some of Brighton’s happy daytime images to turn eerie at night. This

effect is repeated as night falls on Barcelona’s Barri Gotic area, as the streetlamps

work the transformation creating a hauntingly dramatic night world. Night

therefore is not the opposite of day, but a different picture altogether emerges.

A twilight world comes into being, a world of shifting forms and false perceptions.
