PHOTONIC EMPATHY
WHERE: Bryghuspladsen, Bryghusgade 1, 1473 København
(In the area of The Copenhagen Cultural District)
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Photonic Empathy is a touch sensitive interactive art piece that invites the audience to influence the visual feel, look, color and depth of the installation. What at first glance seems like an empty space frame fills up with many faces of beauty.
Photonic Empathy explores the geometry of three volumetric cuboid rectangles using two different lighting mechanics. LED strips on the long ribs of the cuboid add volume to each separate space frame using indirect light. By using individually addressable LED strips, different parts of the geometry can be dynamically accentuated at a rapid pace. This creates a disorienting effect as if the geometry of the structure is unstable. The closed faces that are situated at the end of each cuboid are fitted with infinity mirror panels, capturing and directing the photons within each cuboid.
If the photons were the observer, this sculpture would be completely enclosed. Let’s try to empathize with photons and imagine their universe.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Lumus Instruments is a creative lighting studio from the Netherlands set out to design products that enable and stimulate the creation of sustainable art. Their main activities are developing, designing and engineering modular light installations and control systems.

LIGHT DOCUMENTARIES
WHERE: BLOX, entrance via the stairs on the water side
(In the area of The Copenhagen Cultural District)
WHEN: kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Light Documentaries is an installation in the intersection between light sculptures and video art. This work consists of a horizontal video projection split in two. One half shows a landscape video, and the other is filled with a slowly mutating colour gradient.
Light Documentaries creates a lingering, meditative atmosphere that invites the audience to stop and let themselves get carried away by the ambience for a while. The video sequence circles around a faraway landscape, while the shifting colours are reminiscent of moving clouds and organic formations in nature.
Most of the videos are shot using a MiniDV camera and a digital 4K camera during the artist’s journeys though Spain. The work has a runtime of 10 minutes, with no clear beginning or end.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Carlos Álvarez Clemente (born 1990 in Spain) lives and works in Copenhagen and on the Canary Islands. He has an MA from KASK & Conservatory in Belgium, working primarily with installation, photography and sculpture. His work has received several prizes and grants, including Young Art Prize Gijón/Xixón (Work in Public Collection), Working Grant for Visual Arts—Danish Arts Foundation, residence at the Danish Art Workshops, Injuve Creation Grant, and more.

JAM
WHERE: Lille Langebro
WHEN: Starts with the street lighting
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
JAM is a sweet salute from the Danish summer during the cold and dark month of February. An intense taste of ripe berries from the summer harvest.
Taking inspiration from the deep colour palette of berry marmalades, nuances of red, violet and orange, artist group Tokyo Blue use striking splashes of colour to transform the rigid materials of Lille Langebro bridge into a warm and sensual universe of berries.
This piece can be experienced from many different angles in the city, and it adds a fleeting new layer to the story of the bridge, as well as the perception of it as a work of architecture in a dynamic and active city like Copenhagen. The many little highlights from the multitude of light sources on the bridge resemble berries on a straw on a mild evening in late summer, reflecting beautifully on the surface of the water. JAM is sensual, concentrated, a tasty feast for the eyes. Have a bite!
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Tokyo Blue was created in 2011 and consists of lighting and interior designer Silla Findstrøm Herbst, lighting and textile designer Katrin Barrie Larsen, art historian Helle Frøjk Knudsen and visual artist and engineer Astrid Espenhain, all of whom work with lighting and space in their professional lives.

NEUTRINO
WHERE: BLOX – The wooden deck on the waterside – Bryghusgade 1, 1473 Copenhagen
(In the area of The Copenhagen Cultural District)
WHEN: kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Neutrino is a large-scale light installation that deals with the subatomic world in a poetical manner, a level of order that we cannot fully comprehend. Neutrinos are created in some of the most powerful events in cosmology, such as supernovas, nuclear reactions, which take place in the core of a star, or during the spin down of a neutron star.
The installation is a 4 meters diameter symmetrical Icosahedron made of an aluminum structure to which 150 meters of led strips are attached. This three-dimensional object is treated in its lightning concept to display powerful abstract patterns, letting the festival guests play with their own imagination about the subatomic world.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Neutrino is a co-creation between Circus Lumineszenz and Markus Anders Art.
Circus Lumineszenz (AT) is an artistic & educational project based in Austria where, through the use of light & creative technology, we develop multimedia environments, installations, performances and objects where the audience is invited not only to contemplate and enjoy, but in most cases, to actively participate as creators of the experience as well.
Markus Anders Art (AT) designs and builds light sculptures, which travel from one place to another. He wants to share their inherent symbolism with the world and as many people as possible. Bringing human beings together and making them think and dream. He especially love the creation of large-sized sculptures because their realisation is a rather complex challenge in terms of statics, choice of material and logistics

DON'T BE BLUE
WHERE: Kalvebod Bølge, Kalvebod Brygge, 1560 Copenhagen V
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Move through a blue landscape of light and discover a calm oasis in the middle of the city. Don’t Be Blue is created specifically for the area at Kalvebod Bølgen, and it plays with the architecture of Kalvebod Bølgen using its 250 light sources in various shades of blue.
In chromotherapy, a course of treatment based on the colours of light, the colour blue is considered to have a relaxing and calming effect on the mind and body. Blue is said to give you a calm and regular respiration, and it can help counteract insomnia and stress. Don’t be blue was designed to give peace and happiness to those who venture into its blue light. The piece also invites all festival guests to take a break, greet each other, have conversations and help each other escape from the loneliness of the pandemic. Enjoy the blue glow, have a chat, smile to each other and leave with a lighter heart.

WHERE: Strommas kaj, Ved Stranden 26, 1202 København K (best seen from the opposite side of the water)
WHEN: kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Light has no mass, polystyrene consists of around 98% air, and the word “what” has no content. Meanwhile the world is lit by fluorescent tubes, and polystyrene has been scattered all over the oceans. Hvad (What) is a confusing piece that makes you wonder: What is “what”, and why? The sculpture looks indistinct in daylight, but reveals its true colours in the dark.

GOING UNDER – 30 SUNRISES AND 30 SUNSETS
WHERE: På den lille bådebro på Vindebrogade nær Stormbroen
WHEN: kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Going Under is based on wave motions and reflections on the ocean.
The piece is conceived as a dynamic mosaic, where giant pixels take on the colours and light reflections of the water. It is embellished with the colours and reflections of the harbour entrance, which change dynamically according to the seasons and the light and activity in the harbour.
This work was created using a special algorithm that utilizes 7×6 pixels to recognize images with 95% accuracy, and the way the colours relate to one another creates a unique code. The particular combination of colours and light found in Copenhagen Harbour is visualized as pixels in this piece.
Its title refers to the song “Going Under” by American singer-songwriter and poet Patti Smith:
“Sun is rising on the water, Light is dancing again
Let’s go under where the sun beams
Let’s go under my friend”

ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Black and White is a light sculpture that is directly related to the architecture of the Black Diamond (a modern extension of the Royal Library in Copenhagen). Graphical cones of light slice through the dark, creating a visual echo of the style of the building. The light cones have been placed close to the building, where they create a continuation of its architecture and accentuate the vertical and horizontal lines of its façade.
B&W is a tribute to the Black Diamond and an exploration of light, space and architecture, utilizing light as a sculptural element in the urban space.

COSMOS
HVOR: Nationalmuseet balustrade, Stormgade 2-8
(In the area of The Copenhagen Cultural District)
HVORNÅR: Starts with the street lighting
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Cosmos hangs as a planetary system that fills the old colonnade of The National Museum in Stormgade with rays of light and dynamic shadows.
As the light pulsates to the accompanying music and sound of the city the installation invites you on an atmospheric journey through the old colonnade – disrupting usual perception and offering a new and deeper experience. Being strongly thematically and aesthetically inspired by science fiction and the current world situation the installation plays with our perception of ourselves and reality by raising questions about humanity and its future. Can we redefine our consumption to control climate change and save our planet? Are we on our way to become a multi planetary species?
Cosmos is a collective name for the light installations The Orb, Solaris and Stella– respectively made of pram wheels and patent cans, drum cymbals and metal scraps, as well as accompanying music by Martine Francisca Miller.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Camilla Brix Andersen (b. 1993, Singapore) is a multifaceted artist who received her BA in Art and Technology from Aalborg University in 2018 and is currently pursuing a PB in Graphic Design at The Danish School of Media and Journalism – a background that feeds Brix’s practice exploring the intersection between art and design.

LOOP
WHERE Højbro Plads, Copenhagen K
WHEN: kl 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Loop is a dynamic light and sound installation, consisting of 32 pillars arranged in a circle, which can be experienced at a distance and all the way up close. The interplay between light and sound forms a synthesis, which also interacts with the surroundings. When you experience this piece from a distance, you will be able to sense the sonic rhythm and tonality. But if you get up close and personal with Loop, you will encounter a dominating soundscape enhanced the light show.
This piece challenges the senses of the audience, piquing their curiosity about the connection between sound and light and the way we perceive our surroundings. Here, the interplay between light and sound forms a dynamic whole in constant flux.
Loop is a continuation of Søren Lyngsø Knudsen’s earlier installation pieces with multi-channel sound and audio reactive visuals, and it is a composition for 32-channel audio systems in itself.

THE ORACLE
WHERE: Bertel Thorvaldsens Plads
(In the area of the Copenhagen Cultural District)
WHEN: kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
The Oracle is a visitor-engaging light work. Semi-transparent white walls form a spiral construction that you can walk into. Inside the Oracle you gradually disappear away from the city pulse. The walls get higher and higher and the light intensify the closer you get to the center of the spiral. Here you are bathed in a powerful ocean of light.
The movement into The Oracle is a movement into your own wisdom.
The Oracle is within yourself – the answers lie in your intuition.

FLUCTUS
Sound design: Alexander Clerici (DK)
WHERE: Børsen, Slotsholmsgade 1, 1216 København
WHEN: Kl. 18-23 – plays every followings minutes: 00 – 20 – 40
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
The 3D mapping piece Fluctus at the iconic Old Stock Exchange of Copenhagen is a visual story about the rich history of the building and its location near the water.
Fluctus is a visual abstraction of water, building upon earlier examinations of the fluid dynamics of water. At home, water is an innocent thing that flows from our taps whenever we please, but due to the effects of global warming, water has the potential to become our downfall. Fluctus gives us a lot to think about regarding the current issues with our water resources.
Fluctus thus provides an opportunity to reflect on the current issue of water as a resource. The visual expression makes use of equations from physics, animated content and a 3D scan of the facade of the Renaissance building. This is supported by a sound universe that studies the effect of sound in water. Although sound travels faster through water, there is an understanding that it goes slower in the depths of the ocean. These tempi are examined using strings that stretch, textures that expand, and large sound waves that splash up to the water surface.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Mads Buus holds a degree in Graphic Communication with a thesis in Art Direction from DMJX. He has previously designed visuals for live music and created light art, interactive artworks and virtual productions.
Alexander Valentino Clerici is a trained sound designer specializing in interaction design, created music & sound design for museums made sound art and is a performing musician.

COMMS
Artist: Hans E. Madsen (DK)
Lighting designer: Frederik Dahl Hougs (DK)
WHERE: Knasten på Havnegade 14, 1058 Copenhagen k
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
We humans are surrounded by signals, constantly streaming past us and through our bodies. In this digital age, we are everywhere and nowhere at the same time. Our time is a mishmash of virtual and factual relations and events, and humans are connected to an ever-increasing degree by an invisible network of communication tools. The work Comms illustrates the invisible stream of signals using iconic satellite dishes, which make us aware that we are subjected to a constant barrage of radiation on a daily basis.
The satellite dishes in the piece represent an information central keeping track of everyone and everything, and it evokes the idea of a military surveillance installation, creating a feeling of being unable to escape the clutches of constant supervision. Comms illuminates the invisible, as it were, and shows the digital connection between us all across time and space.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Hans E. Madsen (born 1958 in Denmark) holds a degree from Aarhus Art Academy in 1977-1981 and Art Academy of Ljubljana, Slovenia, in 1980-1982.

KØBENHAVNEON
WHERE: Kulturtårnet, Knippelsbro 2, 1400 Copenhagen K
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Københavneon is a collection of some of the city’s most iconic neon signs gathered in one central and historic location, casting light over the harbor.
Beginning nearly a century ago, Copenhagen merchants embraced neon as a way to declare their wares in the dark dead of winter. Whimsical, fanciful, with touches of humor that could put smiles on the lips of passers-by, these neon signs became sanctioned street art.
Tickled by his childhood memories of hens laying eggs in lakes, frogs jumping around towers, and licorice melting in the rain, Thomas Lewin has in collaboration with street artist Stangdennis revisited those artworks through Stefan Outzen and Helena Helmer’s book Neon, a quintessential photo history of Copenhagen’s neon art, and created a celebration to the historical neon signs of Copenhagen.
In a historical nod to its factory on Amager, Signify has generously donated the Philips Hue Outdoor Lightstrips used to realize Københavneon.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
“Stangtennis” as street art has been around since 1999, made by none other than Stangdennis. Stangtennis stickers can be found all over the world. Stangdennis thinks that art is a lot of fun, and hopes you agree.
Before moving to Copenhagen to study the intricacies of lighting design at Aalborg University, Thomas Lewin was a post-production sound engineer in New York City, mixing for film, radio, and television. He loves finding joy in the light.
Signify is the world’s leading lighting manufacturer and the company behind the premier brands in intelligent lighting for the home; Philips Hue and WiZ Connected.

TRUST NATURE
WHERE: Havnegade 29, KBH K, The facade of Umage
WHEN: Kl. 05-07 & 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
A wealth of green plants and flowers in vivid colours spout up on the front of the building at Havnegade 29 in the 3D mapping piece Trust Nature.
This work tells a visual story about how nature would bloom and make the world more beautiful, if only humanity gave it the necessary space and tranquillity. Its goal is to awaken an emotional response within the observer that could turn thought into action, highlighting the need for us to make a bigger effort for nature’s sake. Trust in nature!
Trust Nature was created using projection mapping, a technique that uses 3D mapping to chart the surface of a building using 3D/spatial recognition, which can create very lifelike effects on the physical elements that the light projection is projected onto.
This piece is an inclusive, progressive light piece, whose ever-changing colours, luminosities, atmospheres and movements are highly compelling. The work is place alongside Copenhagen Harbour, where you can enjoy it from several different angles, both up close and from the other side of the harbour.
Design company UMAGE and VFX collective Hackstage combine a love for the environment with custom technology that challenges the senses and dissolve perceptual limits. The result is a visual ode to nature itself.

EOS/NYX
WHERE: Langebro og Knippelsbro – under the bridges
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
With the Greek mythological tale of Nyx and Eos as a starting point, the iconic bridges Langebro and Knippelsbro are staged into a tale of day and night.
Mythology tells the story of Nyx, the goddess of the night, who at the end of the night meets Eos, the goddess of the morning light, in an eternal battle for the light. In Mads Vegas’ interpretation, Langebro with its night blue colors is Nyx, while Knippelsbro with the morning red light is Eos. During the festival, the two bridges in the dark hours will fight a battle where the light is reflected in the water and can be enjoyed from a distance.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS

ICE BREAK
WHERE: Broens Gadekøkken, Strandgade 95, 1401 Copenhagen
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
A playful projection invites festivalgoers to try a fun and unique experience on the ice rink. Little light sources skitter across the ice like tiny living creatures, threads of light trailing behind them. From time to time, they will break through the ice and continue moving underneath it.
The piece projects an animation onto the ice rink using two projectors placed far above the rink.
The animations have been created as a collage of small video sequences that have been combined with 2D and 3D animation.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Ice break is a work that creates a playful interaction between ice, light and ice skaters. Spectators on more solid ground will also get a visual experience. Chase the light on your skates, but resist the urge to follow, as the light breaks the ice.

PHENIX
WHERE: By the Circle bridge, Strandgade
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Like the phoenix of legend, Phenix is a piece in the shape of a giant bird. In an interplay between light and sound, this work transforms itself into several different animal species on the brink of extinction. Phenix is sending a message about hope, life after death and the possibility of rising from the ashes.
11 metres long, 15 metres wide and 5 metres tall, Phenix is truly a large-scale light sculpture. The animated lighting of the installation creates dynamic shapes and colour transitions, and the whole thing is accompanied by an audio-visual soundscape consisting of birdsong and atmospheric ambient sounds. Phenix invites all festival guests in under its wing, where they can enjoy a spectacular experience in light and sound.

ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Between heaven and earth, two people “dangle on a string”. Between top and down, without the possibility of moving back to the bottom, up over the roof or to each other, maybe into each other, they are stuck in an eternal dialogue loop. In the hopeless hanging around, the two neurotic wire racks become two archetypal representatives of a modern westerner: they drift along in the eternal “now what?”.
The abysmal comic dialogues of Arno Dejaco are put into the mouth of two iced performers. The atmospheric installation is embedded in a soundscape by Julian Angerer.

BORDERS
WHERE: Kgs. Nytorv 5, v. Harsdorffs Hus, and on Kgs nytorv
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Borders is a light sculpture based on barriers as territorial limits and obstacles. Fences and barriers are usually tools that separate, divide and create enclosed spaces. But Borders removes the fence from its normal function and places it as a shining standalone object in the middle of the urban space. This makes the fence a central actor in a dialogue between context and observer.
The work consists of an aluminium frame covered in LED light tubes, arranged in a repeating structure resembling a simple line drawing of a fence. The shape is open, so the observer is always free to move through the fence. Borders contains of a number of conflicting symbols, leaving the interpretation to the observer. Who is inside, who is outside? It is an open conversation between artwork, observer and location.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Studio Jakob Kvist works on location specific works of a temporary and permanent nature, with light as the central element. Studio Jakob Kvist works in the intersection between art, design and architecture, creating works that initiate a visual conversation with their specific context, making the physical space and visitors into core elements in the experience of the work. Studio Jakob Kvist has previously participated with art pieces in Copenhagen Light Festival.

This year’s artwork SOLEILS symbolizes the rise and fall and illustrates the cycle of life and the earth. The 3 pieces evoke a captivating, beneficial, indulgent light, whose warming radiance is rare in winter. We all have the same stars above our heads, we live on the same planet, we are united, linked, interconnected. LUX wants to send a message of optimism, and strength. As the Sun and all the living are connected to it on earth, what falls down at the end of the day, will always rise again the next day, and again, and again.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
LUX is an art group consisting of Simon Chevalier & Lucile Cassassolles who are based in the south of France, near the Alps. Since 2016, Simon creates light sculptures and Lucile produces and manages the art pieces. In contrast to a world saturated with fast, colorful, and loud solicitations to spectators, they choose to present simple, static, black and white art pieces. They dream of a calmer, quieter and cleaner future and use light and electricity to promote a new path for our time.

ÅNDEDRAG
WHERE: Sydbank, Kgs Nytorv 30
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
The 3D mapping piece Åndedrag (Breath) breathes new life into the Sydbank building on Kongens Nytorv. People often say that a metropolis has a life force and a pulse of its own. A pulse is rhythmic and aggressive, while breathing is circular and without beginning or end. Using animations reminiscent of cyclic breathing, the work temporarily makes the building come alive and breathe along with the city.
The 3D animation of this piece was created based on a 3D scan of the façade of the building, making it possible to project the graphics onto the building in a way that perfectly matches its structure, details and ornamentation.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Morten Just graduated from Design School Kolding in 2006, where he studied at the Institute of Interactive and Industrial Design. During the last 15 years, he has worked with video and animation as a set design element in the theatre, exhibitions, movies and much more.

A DOZEN SUN
WHERE: Sankt Annæ Pl. 36, 1250 København – Wooden deck in front of Skuespilhuset
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
In the summer of 2021, citizens in Odsherred handed over approx. 40 m2 yellow and orange plastic in special containers. With the help of young volunteers from 8 different countries, all 5000 pieces of plastic have been washed, cut, drilled in holes and then mounted on the structure. The result is the 3.6 meter high spherical light sculpture A Dozen Sun.
From a distance, the work appears as a bright yellow sun hovering just above the ground. If you move closer, you can see all the small pieces of recycled plastic, which in a color-sorted system are mounted on the circular steel construction.
The work’s title A Dozen Sun refers to the physical dimensions of the sphere, almost all of which are divisible by the number 12 – a dozen. At the same time, the 12-figure supports the cyclical symbolism to which the work physically refers with the recycling of plastic waste. The work thus calls for a special reflection on our climate and environment, where plastic is one of the most controversial items in the climate accounts. With recycled plastic as the focal point, A Dozen Sun marks both an end and a new beginning, where the work as a life-giving sun creates new hope and light for the future.

MY LIQUID REACH, OR IN THE MURK
WHERE: Refshaleøen, The side gable of the second largest B&W hall S1, (close by) Refshalevej 177 A
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
My Liquid Reach – Or in the Murk examines our relationship with all the water that surrounds us and passes through us. Water is much more than a neutral, clear, liquid element, devoid of taste and scent. Water has a rich history, and it is just as much of an idea as it is a substance. As our perspective shifts from the close sphere of our body to our waterways, the oceans and the ground water, we see the water and the body transform into an abstract, symbiotic matter.
The piece consists of computer generated and hand-drawn animations, projected by two full spectrum RGB colour lasers. The laser animations in the artwork consist of figurations, where diagrams, such as the hydrological cycle, become a body of water, and small microplastic-like particles turn into stars in the sky. My Liquid Reach is a show about reach and a poetic declaration of love to our interaction with the water on our planet (in equilibrium).
ABOUT THE ARTIST
Kirke Meng graduated from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm in 2015. Through text, performance and lighting installations, Meng works with juxtaposition of visual and linguistic worlds. Her hand-drawn laser animations could most recently be experienced projected at Roskilde City Hall in the summer of 2021.

TRANSCENDENCE
WHERE: Refshaleøen, Sønder Hoved, v. The harbor bus stop and Urban Rigger (close by) Refshalevej 163A
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
What happens when you immerse yourself in light, sound and space? Dive in and see for yourself if you dare. Transcendence is a multi-sensory experience that makes you for a moment experience yourself in an almost weightless and unforgettable transcendental state. Feel and sense the surrounding journey that you can experience in this lighting installation. Where philosophy, ancient rituals and mystery meet. Stir in the abyss of infinity – this spacious ride is an illusion that repeals the laws of physics.
Transcendence is an immersive installation made of Martin Professional Dynamic lights and especially composed music from Bjørn Svin. The gigantic pyramid construction is made from mirrors and LED panels displaying video content to give an amazing experience. The see-through floor panel allows people to walk on it and experience something completely unexpected when the infinity video beneath them sucks them into the lightbox and immerse them inside theTranscendence.
Transcendence is a gateway to the stars.

DARKNESS: THE WATER IS BLACK AS NIGHT
WHERE: Peblinge Lake, 2200 Kbh N
You can start from Søpavillionen or from Dronning Louises Bridge
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
The work questions the use of artificial light today. Do we really use too much artificial light and can we really get more out of less light? The work focuses on the dark and how it can be better utilized, as well as how it affects us as human beings.
With the use of 50 LED lamps which are connected to each other and controlled in a light sequence, a dim illumination of the lake is created. The lighting draws the audience’s attention towards the lake and the dark water, as well as the magic that the dark evening sky creates. Existing lighting along Peblinge Lake is dimmed and dimmed so that the plant and Peblinge Lake can stand out

LUX XII – ET KAPEL PÅ VRANGEN
WHERE: Østre Kapel, Vestre cemetery, 2450 Copenhagen SV
WHEN: Kl. 17 – 24
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Bavnehøj Områdefornyelse, governed by Copenhagen Municipality, presents a location-specific light art piece by the drawing office Byen Sover, found near the historic Østre Kapel in the middle of Vestre Cemetery. A large chandelier, measuring 3.5 metres in diameter, transforms the square in front of the chapel into a warm and wonderful communal space. A compelling and ceremonial space for individual contemplation, which also serves as a gathering area for cemetery guests, even during the most piercingly cold days.
Visitors can admire the ornamented shades of the chandelier, which turn the chapel inside out by mirroring spatial fantasies and pieces of the cultural and theatrical activities that can be enjoyed inside the former chapel. The light from the chandelier reflects the surroundings, creating a link between nature and the chapel. This piece is conceived as an alluring and mysterious destination for passing cyclists and runners in the cemetery, but also as a warm and inviting space for relaxation and losing yourself in thought for a while.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
The drawing office Byen Sover consists of architects Jens Kamp and Karin Bech. Their work covers a wide field from exhibition architecture to a working with light in the shape of lamps and lighting installations, often in the public space. They are driven by a fascination with the darkness of the city and the way in which stories can help change our perception of it. Their work is centred around the interplay between city and nature, fiction and reality.

LYSENDE PLANTEFOSSILER
WHERE: Bavnehøj Allé 25, 2450 Copenhagen
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
10 concave circles, each with a diameter of about 1 metre, cast in phosphorescent materials with images of different plants, create a luminous tale of symbiotic processes in nature. The work is based on natural processes, inspired by the symbiosis between different living organisms, such as how trees cooperate with the underground mycorrhizal network of mycelia, the filaments of fungi. The trees receive phosphor in exchange for sugar and fat. Mycelia are tiny subterranean mushroom threads, capable of extracting phosphor from the soil and transporting it to the trees.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Anna Rosa Hiort-Lorenzen is a clothing designer from the Danish Design School, whose work has gravitated towards textile-based art installations and now also light installations. She was awarded a special grant from The Danish Arts Foundation for her work in phosphorescent colours in concrete.

DET HER STED, HER, NU
WHERE: Sjælør St, 2500 Copenhagen
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Under the bridge, where people drive underneath the railroad, a large light installation is created, depicting a rainbow in the spectral colours of purple, blue, turquoise, green, yellow, orange, red and pink. The rainbow becomes a portal to and from Sydhavn and Bavnehøj, and its multicoloured splendour above the roadway becomes a shining symbol of diversity.
The vividly coloured tiles on the wall makes you think of different landscapes. One side represents the green area at Vester Cemetery, while the other is a sunset over the water around Sydhavnen. The colours of the two landscapes reflect in each other and become aesthetical counterpoints.
The work is set up by Copenhagen Municipality in collaboration with Banedanmark and DSB.

BUGS – DAY OF THE DEAD
WHERE: The avenue at Urbanplanen, Peder Lykkes Vej 73, 2300 Kbh S
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
When darkness becomes a rare guest, biodiversity is challenged. Over the past 100 years, the amount of artificial light has multiplied. Our houses, cars, parks, streetlights and light commercials all contribute to an eternal lightning of the globe. “BUGS – The Day of the Dead” focuses on the effects of electric light and light pollution for biodiversity and many insects. Two thirds of the planet’s animals are – unlike humans – nocturnal, and light pollution is an underestimated factor in the massive loss of biodiversity and species that is happening right now.
BUGS – THE DAY OF THE DEAD consists of 8 insect lanterns, constructed of recycled parachutes and sails. The lanterns are attached to the existing lighting in the Remise Park and thus do not use extra power or add new light to the site. Instead, the work draws attention to how darkness is a prerequisite for our experience of light. At the same time, the work celebrates the life and diversity of insects with inspiration from the Mexican festival The Day of the Dead, which celebrates the dead – in this case the dead insects.
The city’s children have helped to draw wild insects for the work, which can be experienced in Remiseparken on Amager during the light festival.
During the light festival, Miljøpunkt Østerbro and Miljøpunkt Amager will arrange an open insect workshop for children in Remiseparken.

FACE TO FACE
WHERE: Urbanplanen, nearest address: Pederlykkes vej 71.
WHEN: kl 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Today’s children and young people are used to presenting their faces on their smartphones and experimenting with various expressions, for instance by using modifying filters. Picasso was experimenting with portraits in a comparable manner in the beginning of the 20th century. The group has examined the artistic effects of Cubism together. This work is a reflection on portraits, selfies and the way we present ourselves.
Using the portrait techniques of Picasso as their starting point, Frøjk and Herbst have collaborated with Kulturpiloterne on an exploration of the possibilities with light and colour in portraiture. What happens when we use very few lines to capture a face, and what can be achieved when light, colours and space replace pencil and paper?
Face to Face is located at the southern end of Remiseparken, next to the activity path that passes through the park. Remiseparken is a part of the Urban Plan, a social housing project. The work sits at a height of 2.5 meters and stands out clearly against its surroundings and at a distance. When observed from afar, Face to Face will appear as a chaotic confusion of glowing lines. As you approach the piece and move around it, its details will keep unfolding.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Frøjk & Herbst have many years of experience in the lighting industry, and during the last 2 years they have been working closely together on art projects focused on light, space, materials and stories in the art group Tokyo Blue. Frøjk & Herbst focus on combining modern lighting equipment with analogue forms of expression and flourishes with a strong, sensual nature that both children and adults can explore.
Kulturpiloterne is a group of kids and young people from the local area around the Urban Plan in Amager. The group collaborates on developing and designing art and cultural initiatives for their local area.

DENDROLUX II
WHERE: Sundby cemetery, Entrance at Kirkegårdsvej 28, 2300 Copenhagen
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
When the term “wood wide web” was invented, many learned that trees communicate with each other and share nourishment on a large scale. A healthy tree can share its resources with a sick one, and a tree can warn others if it is under attack. It’s very reminiscent of ourselves. Dendrolux uses the mediating forces that live in a beautiful and majestic tree at Sundby Cemetery, and invites all living creatures to participate in the conversation.
The installation involves 14 custom-made black fluorescent tubes of between 1.5 m and 2 m. The tubes have a built-in responsive programming, which enables them to respond to external forces.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Svartljus is an artist collective with members from many areas. The collaboration with nature gives them constant motivation and inspiration, both by virtue of the mathematical patterns that give shape to their designs and the environments they are in. With Dendrolux, they explore the network between trees and creatures through light and play. And while the relationship with modern technology is getting closer, they are striving to get closer to the oldest that exists.
Dendrolux was created by Svartljus members Jonas Johansson, Olle Bjerkås and Per-Olov Jernberg.

COMMUNICATOR
WHERE: Wooden bridges at Ørestad Boulevard nr 59-61 and nr 73-75, Ørestad 2300 Kbh S
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
The installation is inspired by communication and consists of two sculptures, each placed on their respective bridge. The sculptures are created from 8 illuminated aluminium curves each, which form an organically shaped bouquet at a height of 2 metres. When observed at a distance, the sculptures will appear as a complete whole due to the interaction between the light animations, which creates a dialogue between them. The work is an abstraction of language and code, visualized thought light. Festival guests can also experience the pieces up close and pass through them as they are crossing the bridges.
The computer-controlled lighting on the piece creates a compelling, meditative atmosphere, enriched by the beautiful reflections on the water in the channels. Communicator creates space for thought and admiration while playing with a mixture of symmetry, organic shapes and playful light elements in the architectural and natural surroundings of Ørestad.
The title—Communicator—is a reference to a communication device from the sci-fi TV series Star Trek, but also the name of a line of 90s era mobile phones for business from Nokia. Both suggest the idea of human communication, both before, during and after the current epidemic.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
SIIKU—named after the Greenlandic name for ice—are a Danish/Greenlandic artist group consisting of Rasmus Nielsen (born 1984 in Lyngby, Denmark) and David H. Péronard (born 1981 in Nuuk, Greenland).

STACK
WHERE: Kay Fiskers Plads 16, Ørestad 2300 Kbh S
WHEN: Kl. 17-23
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Stack is an architectural light sculpture placed in the channel alongside Ørestad Boulevard. A floating, slightly mysterious construction rising from the water and illuminating the frigid winter with a sparkling display of light.
Stack is a poetic and warm light piece in sharp contrast with the grey, angular surroundings in the February cold. A radiant beacon of light standing 3 metres tall in the channel, chasing the darkness away.
It uses an algorithmic system to create constantly changing animations that ripple across its almost 2000 LED lights. The fir panels of the construction capture and reflect the light, dispersing it in a way that mixes and diffuses the colour of the light on the surface. The natural water reflections beneath the piece, which mirror and distort the light, complete the visual expression. The light is always in flux by nature, almost fluid in its expression, but soft, warm and playful. A shining contrast with the hard concrete and sharp geometry surrounding the piece.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Thomas Sandahl, Nina Cecilie Højholdt and Christian Sivertsen are part of Copenhagen art and design studio Circuit Circus (2015). They create installations, sculptures and artifacts. Their work is rooted in technology, including interactive elements, algorithmic design and new production methods designed to create aesthetic experiences.

FORTÆLLENDE TRÆER
WHERE: Højskoleforeningens Have, Damstien 25, 2720 Copenhagen (can be experienced from the walking path along the Damhus lake as well)
WHEN: Kl. 17-21 – NOT 26th Feb
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
In the hidden garden from 1929 at Københavns Højskoleforening, the work “Fortællende træer” (Storytelling Trees) invites to you enjoy a tale of community, nature and song, staged with light and sound. The great trees in the garden have witnessed countless human lives and events pass by through the years.
At each glowing tree, visitors can hear an audio story from the area, and a route with garden torches will bind the storytelling trees together. When standing in the garden, you find yourself suspended inside a time warp. This work is a homage to a different time, but in particular to the natural surroundings and the people, who have contributed to making Højskoleforeningen an incredibly special place in Copenhagen and the suburb of Vanløse throughout the ages.
This piece was created for the large garden of Højskoleforeningen, which can also be experienced from the path along Damhus Lake.
This is the first time that Sally Rud and Laura Bogstad have collaborated on a piece that unifies their passion for plants, light and magical stories.
We thank Københavns Højskoleforening, Vanløse Lokaludvalg and BYRUMSKOLE for their support on this project.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS

WHEN: 7:00-8:30 & 15:30-20:30
(Foto of the installation : Ture Andersen)
ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK
Interconnection is an immersive art installation about the story of one of the greatest survivors on the planet: The fungi kingdom.
The artwork takes visitors into an evolutionary journey that describes the crucial role that these fascinating organisms have on Earth; like keeping our forests alive, offering medical properties and developing an underground network, so-called “wood wide web”, in which the surrounding species connect to create a harmonious symbiotic relationship.
Interconnection is a completely handcrafted installation created by Sara Ki Noguera Plans (artist & lighting designer ) and Jonathan Ki Lindhult (artist & film director). Its design emphasizes the beauty of bioluminescent mushrooms and invites visitors to explore the idea of using “Bioluminescence” as an innovative and sustainable light source that could be used in the future to illuminate parks of our cities. It also touches the subject of light pollution by explaining how fireflies, which are also bioluminescent, are facing extinction due to light pollution, pesticides and habitat loss.
This artwork counts with; 3 large sculpture mushrooms (2 meters, 1.5 meters and 1.2 meters) ; 600 small mushrooms that grow from the ground, trees and logs; 300 units of magical grass and 150 fireflies that creates an imaginary entrance door into the fungi kingdom. Moreover, it includes an interactive area where people can make real mushrooms glow by using a flashlight.
While walking through this wonderland, visitors are accompanied wtih experimental music created by the sound artist Anton Helmersson. Additionally, they have the option to scan a QR-code to hear the story behind the Fungi Kingdom and the fireflies.

ABOUT THE LIGHTWORK / POP-UP EVENT
In the wake of the major Black Lives Matter demonstrations world-wide, there has been a growing international attention to the issue of monuments commemorating the colonial era and their impact in public spaces today. Voices in the Shadows of Monuments is an audio-visual city walk that examines material traces from the colonial era embedded in buildings and monuments in the centre of Copenhagen, from the time when the Port of Copenhagen was the centre of Danish colonial trade.The walk takes participants from Christianshavns Torv to Kongens Nytorv, creating a polyphonic soundscape accompanied by graphic light projections. The artists create narratives that intertwine different geographies and times: past and present interweave and testify to how colonialism is not a closed chapter, but still has strong reverberations in the present.During the walk, the audience is invited to assemble the fragments they are presented with into new narratives about the city.Sound transmitters and headphones are provided at the beginning of the walk.

ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Barly Tshibanda, Nanna Katrine Hansen and Katrine Dirkinck-Holmfeld are visual artists based in Copenhagen. They have been working with questions about colonialism using video, sound and text for several years. Through their collaboration on Voices in the Shadow of Monuments, they experiment with projecting light art onto targets with a legacy of Danish colonialism. The former Women’s Prison at Christianshavn. A block of marble from Greenland, used as ballast on merchant ships. An equestrian statue of King Christian V. They are interested in light as waves and movement; how light projections can reanimate surfaces and create new meaning.
THANKS TO
The project is supported by the Danish Arts Foundation, Copenhagen Light Festival and Kunsthal Charlottenborg.

ABOUT THE POP-UP
Copenhagen Voices is a contemporary vision of Copenhagen in a poetic installation, told through the use of light, sound and images drawn by hand. An ode to Copenhagen, full of love for the city. The raw materials of the installation are the voices, sounds and visual impression of Copenhagen. The artists have collected sounds and drawings during conversations with citizens of Copenhagen: on the streets, in their homes, through individual conversations and in purpose-designed conversation salons.
From a distance, you will see drawings of people, actions, objects and thoughts projected onto the wall in The Nikolaj Contemporary Art Center. As you move closer to the drawings, you will begin to hear sounds: the many voices of Copenhageners, their names and different dialects, ambient sounds of the city, the ever-present bicycles, the sleek Metro, the characteristic bells of City Hall, that great shawarma joint at Nørrebro, the lively dogs of Christiania, the click-clack of high heels in Hellerup, the slurping of fancy oysters at Østerbro. Voices telling stories of their Copenhagen, their affiliations, their daily lives, their dreams and desires, their anxieties. This installation converts the urban space into a reflection on being human in Copenhagen. An examination of the identity of the place and the identity of the people through art.

ABOUT THE POP-UP
Behind Christiansborg Palace, we find a little bit of world history in the shape of the equestrian statue of King Christian IX (1818-1906). This was created by Danish artist Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen (1863-1945), who was most likely the first woman in the world to complete this highly prestigious type of assignment. In her design sketch for the piece, Anne Marie Carl-Nielsen had a vision of depicting the Danish people in a relief on the base of the statue. This relief was an important part of the meaning and visual expression of the statue, but it was never realized, even though the artist fought bravely to make it happen during the 20 years it took to produce the statue.
The light art piece Hippolyta temporary realizes Anne Marie Carl-Nielsens vision about a contemporary relief, which highlights the role of women in our society. The work consists of 360-degree projections on the base of the statue. It is based on older image material (photos and video sequences) showing women doing various jobs that were characteristic for their time (including housework), as well as female pioneers. The image material has been colourized based on old hand-coloured photos and movies.
Hippolyta is an example of using light in an artistic dialogue with the monuments and history of the city. A dialogue that calls attention to the lack of female representation in our urban spaces.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Tokyo Blue was created in 2011 and consists of lighting and interior designer Silla Findstrøm Herbst, lighting and textile designer Katrin Barrie Larsen, art historian Helle Frøjk Knudsen and visual artist and engineer Astrid Espenhain, all of whom work with lighting and space in their professional lives.

LIGHT OF CHRIST
WHERE: Frue Kirke, Nørregade 8, 1165 Copenhagen
WHEN: Kl. 19-23
thur 24/2, fri 25/2, sun 27/2
ABOUT THE POP-UP
The artwork Light of Christ is inspired by different shapes found in nature. It invites everyone to the experience of the sacred, independently of one’s religious affiliation, thereby expressing what is universally human; a sense of community, reconciliation and cohesion. It spreads hope in a difficult time, and invites contemplation and reflection. The artwork is specifically designed and placed in a way that encircles the statue of the angel in Vor Frue Kirke and unfolds like light flowing from the hands of the statue of Christ. It can be read as the wings of the angel, a picture of the waters separating from the story of Moses and the Red Sea, or as a picture of the Holy Spirit, often symbolized by a white dove of peace flying towards the sky.
ABOUT THE ARTISTS
Light of Christ is designed by architect Mikkel Nielsen, who is creating the light installation in collaboration with photographer and light installations artist Nicolas Andreou Odyssea. The artwork is part of Mikkel Nielsen’s research on sustainable 3D-printing of architecture, and it is an integral part of these studies, which aim to increase the sustainability of the construction industry through technological innovation.

Transport: Bus 2A and 10 go right to the door
ABOUT THE POP-UP WORK
In line with the building’s minimalist architecture, the lighting of the façade is deliberately limited to emphasize the cylindrical shape of the façade – partly by letting chains of light extend from the roof to the terrain along buttresses, partly by mimicking the circular floor plan. the chains that overall enclose the facade and highlight the cylindrical shape for the viewer regardless of point of view.
The light underlines how the building towers up to the highest point in Copenhagen (approx. 24 m), like a raw, massive, simple and luminous, 35 meter high sculpture in the dark. The building insists on being identical with its function: to serve as a solid and safe construction for the water tank that was to ensure sufficient water pressure for a growing metropolis in the 1930s.
Inside, 20 rectangular columns rise with ring and radial beams and carry the high-lying water tank. With the lighting in the room, changeable light and shadow effects are created between the columns, which visually gives the room an almost sacred expression, acoustically enhanced by the room’s long reverberation time, which also creates exciting settings for changing concerts.
ABOUT THE ARTIST / ART GROUP
FBV is a group of voluntary citizens in Brønshøj who have formed an association with the aim of creating the framework for light and sound art with Brønshøj Water Tower as the core. In addition, the purpose is to test the limits of what the building can be used for and thus to revitalize the water tower as a culture house.
The water tower was built by architect Ib Lunding in 1928.

ABOUT THE POP-UP
In collaboration with Good Work Productions, Huset will install the work “Keep Up Good Spirit” on the House’s facade with a vernissage on 21 February. The work will be part of the Copenhagen Light Festival’s Pop-up program, but will help to spread joy, life and light after a long isolated corona period.
The work is made by the artist Nina Wengel and was first installed over Amagerbrogade in 2012 in collaboration with Good Work Productions, which with the help of art tries to influence itself, society and the universe positively.
The phrase “keep up good spirit” is deliberately chosen over the more used, but less poetic “keep up the good spirit”, so that the phrase could also mean “follow” or “stay in good spirits”.
In addition to Amagerbrogade, the sign has previously been exhibited on Nansensgade in Copenhagen, Roskilde Festival, a venue in Tokyo, and at the Danish Jazz Awards.
The sign measures ten meters and 80 cm high and is LED and therefore uses approximately the same amount of power as a coffee machine. The frame itself is made of aluminum and weighs a maximum of 20 kilos. It can be easily installed with regular plastic strips.
ABOUT THE ART GROUP
Good work productions is an organization that, with the help of art, tries to influence itself, society and the universe positively.
Good work productions were started by visual artist Nina Wengel, and have over time had many good and important contemporary art enthusiasts.

ABOUT ARTIST
Rodrigo Fco. Lagüera Pérez has a BSc in Architecture. He is fascinated by the strong relationship between architecture and light and the necessity to create experiences for the people through light to support their well-being. This led him to Denmark where he is currently obtaining an MSc in lighting design at Aalborg University in Copenhagen.
He is passionate about studying the relationship between emotions, human interaction, and light in architectural spaces. He pays special attention to solving the details of each project, always looking for possibilities to innovate combining knowledge, skills, tools, and experiences from both fields to create holistic solutions to all the projects.
