BERLIN · A GLITCH IN A STREETLAMP
Error by Shingo Yoshida
BERLIN · ‘’Error’’ by Shingo Yoshida focuses on a glitch in a streetlamp at alexanderpatz, a peculiar malfunction, which marks ist presence when the lights turn off. paradoxically for a streetlight, it shows itself only as it suddenly disappears.
this curious public incident, that occurs night after night just outside Yoshida studio, to a silent personal reflection of one’s own alienated presence amidst an urban setting, where an overwhelming network of functionality attempts to guide us so that we do not have to grope in the dark, this error of street lamp in berlin-alexanderplatz however goes unnoticed and almost forgotten. by screening his reaction to this phenomenon on his studio window Yoshida opens up a dialogue between the two objects,the lamp and its representation, drawing our attention to these frailties.
