Fondations is a further example: this authentic,
timed attraction takes visitors back to the 19
th
centu-
ry, when the company was founded.The innovation
here lies in the use of early cinema (and lighting)
techniques developed during the same industrial
age. By combining shadow play, magic lanterns,
ombres Chinoises
and more, illusion becomes real-
ity. Light designer Pelle Herfst (Rapenburg Plaza)
brought the various spaces to life. “It is a true play,
albeit without actual actors. Along with technology
that reflects the spirit of the age, light is used in
a way that contributes to the authentic feel of the
experience,” says Tinker.
