# Luminous Poetry Installations These Bright Poetry Art Installations are Solar-Powered By Lacey-Jane Walsh | Published 2013-06-22 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poetry-art References: [mymodernmet](http://www.mymodernmet.com/profiles/blogs/robert-montgomery-recycled-sunlight-pieces) & [robertmontgomery.org](http://www.robertmontgomery.org/robertmontgomery.org/ROBERT_MONTGOMERY.html) These brilliant [luminous poetry art installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/making-the-invisible-visible) by Robert Montgomery use the power of the sun to highlight inspiring and odd phrases. Montgomery's art projects often focus on spreading poetry around in public places, but unlike his other works, these installations are solar powered. One of these light-up installations claims that people you love are like ghosts inside of you and that's how you keep them alive. Many of these poetic passages contain vivid imagery about nature, fire and body parts. The fact that these installations are solar powered adds an interesting element to these message spreading art pieces. They become highlighted and draw more attention to themselves. This was an extremely clever way for Robert Montgomery to take his [poetic passage art](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poetry-camera) to the next level. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 1.2/10 - Popularity: 22% | Activity: 6% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America, Europe ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Why This Trend Is Growing - **Solar-powered Art Installations:** Opportunity for artists to explore sustainable energy and environmental conservation in their art. - **Poetry in Public Spaces:** Opportunity to use art to promote and inspire creativity in urban areas. - **Mixed Media Art Installations:** Opportunity to combine different forms of art to create unique and visually appealing installations. ### Industries Being Reshaped - **Art and Design:** Opportunity for artists and designers to create new forms of art that incorporate sustainability and poetic messages into public spaces. - **Renewable Energy:** Opportunity to expand the use of solar power in public spaces and promote awareness of renewable energy sources. - **Tourism and Hospitality:** Opportunity to create tourist attractions and unique experiences involving solar-powered art installations and poetry in public spaces. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Lightning-Inspired Artful Exhibitions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bright-light-shining.md) - [Solar-Powered Floral Garden Accessories](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/solar-tree-house.md) - [Immersive Illuminated Artistic Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lumino1.md) - [Concept-Driven Public Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/ivan-toth-depea.md) - [Solar Energy Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/michael-jantzen-2.md) - [Neon Illuminated Art Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/love-and-unity.md) - [AI-Powered Poem Booths](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/poem-booth.md) - [Immersive Light Exhibits](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spencer-finch.md) - [Colorful Aerial Installations](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/clean-power-campaign.md)
