'Broken Light' softens a hardscrabble street in Rotterdam's old harbor area
Evening in the Atjehstraat in Rotterdam's revitalizing neighborhood of Katendrecht. 'Broken Light' in the snow; the Atjehstraat before the lighting project

The city of Rotterdam asked a group of artists to help rejuvenate the former harbor area of Katendrecht through the use of light. the winner of the competition was Rudolf Teunissen of Daglicht & Vorm.
