Fairy at Night

Do you believe in fairies?
Fairy at Night is a small box that helps us to observe a fairy in a very discrete manner. The fairy is not easy to see — she is a very secretive creature. If she were easy to see, she would no longer be a fairy, children would be disappointed with fairy tales and their youthful innocence would be lost. When it’s dark and quiet, and the door is closed, the fairy comes out and dances to music. The Fairy at Night box needs to be properly positioned in a room in order to detect the door’s opening and closing, as well as any changes in light and sound. I made it somewhat difficult to see the fairy because I don’t want to wake observers too much from their fairy reverie. ‘Fairy at Night’ aims to preserve a certain childhood innocence and awaken the heart of a child in adults.
