Projecting Light in a Time of Darkness, a video art installation at Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco.
© Heidi Sanders
Ben Wood, a BFA 2003 graduate of the San Francisco Art Institute, is an artist known for his large-scale projections combining digital media art with historical subject matter. His work aims to animate public spaces with images of their often unrecognized history.
He’s using light installation to "animate the history of the 170-year-old Reform synagogue. Interweaving holiday imagery into the display of archival photos, the project aims to remind people of the presence of the temple in the community even while it is closed due to the pandemic."
Now’s your chance to see his work “Every evening throughout the month of December, people strolling or driving past the 170-year-old Congregation Emanu-El in San Francisco will notice an ever-changing lightscape of images projected on the historic building’s facade.” The Jewish News of Northern California
Plan your visit: 2 Lake St, San Francisco, CA 94118
Exhibition time: On view from 05:00 to 10:00 pm through December
Please wear a mask and keep social distancing while visiting!
