Modular Exhibition System

A transportable exhibition system of 20 illuminated lightboxes.

Photographs are printed at the exact size of the train windows they were taken through.

The lightboxes can be freestanding or wall-mounted and arranged to suit different spaces.

The system can use any number of units, with photographs selected from across the archive for each exhibition.

The photographs were shown at their original train-window size across 20 illuminated lightboxes at Utrecht Centraal. The exhibition was timed to coincide with the tulip season, a few stops from where the photographs were taken.
