Celebrating Flows by Licht Kunst Licht
The "Celebrating Flows" concept developed by Licht
Kunst Licht is based on a single assumption: light
is associated with positive values; so, rather than
emphasizing problematic environmental issues, Licht
Kunst Licht worked to improve awareness of nature and
sustainability and thereby develop good and positive
solutions. Starting from an analysis of the cities where it
operates, Licht Kunst Licht chose Berlin because, as the
Mayor of the City, Klaus Wowereit, once said, "Berlin is
poor but sexy". The city's charm derives from overlapping
time, nature and freedom and, based on these aspects,
they identified the site for an installation: Oberbaumbrücke
- a bridge that embodies the intersection of these three
elements to the full. In particular, inspired by movement
and the sense of flowing, they focused on the element air.
The idea was to set up a canvas to project the gobos by
creating a layer of fog: the combination of air and fog gave
shape to the installation itself.
