War Veteran Vehicle (Krzysztof Wodiczko)
GLOW - International Forum of Light in Art and Architecture
Eindhoven 2011 - 6th Edition - 'Illusion and reality'
Due to the dedication of CityDynamiek Eindhoven, from November, 5th to 12th, 2011, the city center of Eindhoven turns again into a forum of interventions, installations, performances and events based on the phenomena of artificial light.
Location: Square 18 septemberplein
About the project:

Originally from Poland but since 1977 a resident of the united states Krzysztof Wodiczko has become famous for his socially engaged and politically charged work. Since the eighties, he has realized numerous projects in public space. With his art he wants to increase people\u2019s awareness of the social conditions in their immediate environment and to contribute to the political debate.

During GLOW he presents War Veteran Vehicle, a military vehicle that has served in war zones for the Dutch army, now driving through the streets of Eindhoven. It is equipped with a projector that fires words on the facades of the 18 September Square, accompanied by sounds. The projected images are quotes from national and local war veterans and their families. They explain why the transition from the battlefield to a civilian life has been difficult for them.

With his work Wodiczko hopes that people will open their eyes for the traumatic effects military missions could cause. He offers war veterans and their families the opportunity to speak out in public and to share their experiences. At the same time he focuses on the personal problems of veterans in their own environment.
