The Night is a multimedia installation focusing on the transformative power of the night, its dichotomous nature and how it is perceived by various cultures and traditions.  

For the project a special place is held by the Buddhist approach. Siddhārtha Gautama, called the Buddha, experienced a radical change of perspective during a long night of deep meditation. He awoke and had a cosmic vision of the deeper meaning of existence that brings the cure for all suffering to everyone. 

The installation is a collaborative work with Belgian filmmaker and visual artist Konrad Maquestieau. The music is written, composed and produced by Valery Vermeulen.
