DARK SKY RESEARCH 2024
- At Lauwersmeer National Park, one of the darkest landscapes in the Netherlands, I explored the relationship between darkness, ecology and human perception. Working during twilight and night I observed how reduced light changes orientation, attention and awareness. Photography, sound recordings and field notes became tools for understanding the landscape beyond visual dominance. The project invites a slower encounter with darkness as a condition that reveals rather than conceals, allowing new relationships between body, landscape and environment to emerge. Listen to the podcast ‘Een Nacht op Lauwersoog’ to follow Diana’s journey into the dark night.
