Mark Clintberg's work often uses text-based forms of public address like neon signage and billboard displays to express privately-held sentiments of longing, desire, and love. Here The phrase “It happens at night” place frontally, is a clever pun on the dissonance between the physical and emotional spaces we simultaneously occupy. It leaves room for different interpretations and leaves hovering the idea that everything can be possible at night.
