BIRKENSTOCK and Opening Ceremony present one of Magritte’s works, L’Empire des Lumieres on the classic Boston clog. Referencing his famous painting, Magritte once said, “[A]n idea cannot be seen with the eyes. What is represented in a picture is what is visible to the eyes, it is the thing or things that must have been ideated. Thus, what are represented in the picture ‘The Empire of Light’ are the things I ideated, i.e. a nighttime landscape and a sky such as we see during the day. The landscape evokes night and the sky evokes day. I call this power: poetry.”
