Tracey Emin’s romantic glowing heart artworks came to life in New York city last week in time for Valentine’s Day. Couples and singles alike took pictures of the hearts as they flashed on screen for three minutes from midnight, featuring messages like “I promise to love you.” The images were displayed at the tourist filled Times Square where they lit up the night sky in a beautifully poetic way.
If you’re lucky enough to be in New York on Valentine’s Day, this elusive artwork will be sure to impress a potential boyfriend or girlfriend. You better make sure you are on time, however—#MidnightMoments only appear for 3 minutes, starting at 11:57 every night on the digital screens for the entire month of February.
