The terrain between the campus of the University of Utrecht en the A27 highway was the location to erect a monument for Albert Einstein. His most famous theories, the special (1905) and the general (1915) theory of relativity, inspired me to create this monument. The general theory deals with gravity, the special deals with superfast movement. Einstein concluded that both phenomenae influenced your vision of the world. I transformed the swampy terrain into a park with wooden boardwalks, as an extension of the campus. In the middle of the park is the main monument, based on the special theory of relativity. A translucent tube describes a circle. The tube contains a light which represent a particle of light. This light spinns round in the tube, which represents the light being influenced by gravity. The second moument, based on the general theory lightens the boardwalks in the park. It seems these lamps play with gravity because they move up and down in a translucent tube without being connected to the ground.
