B for Bulb, 2021.

Neon, metal stand, high voltage transformer. 160 x 50 x 50 cm

The title refers to the function on a camera’s shutter speed button marked ‘B’ (short for ‘Bulb’), used when photographing with flash. Sometimes also marked with a little symbol of a lightning bolt. 

Both markings (B or lightning bolt) are symbolic/out-of-date/technically inaccurate references (the flash of the lightning bolt is a symbolic reference/flashbulbs are not in use anymore) but have nestled into the collective visual memory as common cultural symbols.
