LIGHT AND

SHADOW

“We realised that light was a
really important thing at this
stage in history – a candle
was something for the rich.
When you were poor you didn’t
have the money to even light
your own house, or it was with
a bad candle that polluted the
room,” Dedeine says. “Light is
given here, where for them it
was not. Then the prototype
of the rat-swarm came. In the
shadow, you are hidden from
the inquisition, but are prey for
the rats. In the light, you are safe
from the rats, but revealed to the
inquisition. It works both ways.”
