UNGT LYS x COPENHAGEN LIGHT FESTIVAL
Windows to a luminous future
Ungt Lys continue their tradition of illuminating the café windows of Matrikel1 at Højbro Plads. Four groups of young lighting designers have taken up the challenge of creating installations under the overarching title — Windows to a Luminous Future.
Ungt Lys, which means ‘Young Light’, is a union of students and young professional lighting designers. They create workshops, talks and events about architectural, artistic and health promoting lighting design.

LIMINAL SPACE
By: Annabelle Hill (AUS), Begoña Sánchez (MX), Nicoline Jo Højer Hansen (DK)
When a choice is made, a line is crossed: the threshold to the future. This installation
examines how to understand the space existing on this very threshold.
Begoña Sánchez, Annabelle Hill and Nicoline Jo Højer Hansen participated in
Copenhagen Light Festival 2021 together with the piece “Our Consiousness”, which was subsequently shown in 2022 at Festugen in Aarhus, Denmark.

PALINDROME
BY: Gabriele Zocchi (IT), Daniel Claes Thiesen (DK) & Federico Cecere (IT)
In girum imus nocte et consumimur igni.
A Latin phrase attributed to the Latin poet Virgil that can be translated as ‘we wander in the night and are consumed by fire’.
The original phrase is a palindrome and can describe the experience of the participants of the CPH Light festival, amused by the lights as they wander through the city.
