Fabrice Wittner: Enlightened Souls, Country Mice

Fabrice Wittner has done it again. What is it, well it is… he created some effing amazing and moving light painting works of art. Back in 2011 Fabrice created his first light stencil work in New Zealand as a tribute to the souls lost in the Christchurch earthquake. This time he took his life size stencils to Hanoi. Fabrice says this of the project…

“Following the first opus of Enlightened Souls in Christchurch, I went to cut my stencils out in Hanoi, Vietnam. I didn’t expected to work on a second series of characters during my journey in Hanoi, but my schedule went lighter than I thought and I needed to find an occupation.”

“September was dedicated to a simple trip across Vietnam, as a standard tourist. In Sapa – one of the hot spot for tourism in North Vietnam – I realized vietnamese city-dweller tourists were a bit sniffy and picky with the local people from the mountains. Tourism doesn’t always wear the happy face of a brochure but as tourist myself, I couldn’t criticize too hard…
Anyway, this is how the enlightened idea occurred for the second time. Back in the capital I had two more month to prepare my material. Like a little joke, I thought it could be funny to let some country-side kids wandering in the streets of Hanoi, like country mice visiting their town mouse cousins.”
