During the 19th century people who sometimes come from far away go to cities to admire street lights on boulevards and multicolored lights in public dances. Light has pushed darkness back, made shadow civilized so people feel safer while going out during the night. It is the symbol of modernity and working progress. But we can also hear people who do not agree with the technical mutations it brings along in contrast with the praises it arises. What do we wish to control with night?
