Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#12 Flying Man | Light Installation

Cédric le Borgne, France

The installation "Flying Man" is part of "Les Voyageurs". The "travellers" appear and disappear in the sky, between dream and reality. They visit parks, monuments and settle on rooftops. Their journey began in the late 1990s in Toulouse, when Cédric Le Borgne set up his first sculptures "wildly" in the streets of his neighbourhood, using street lighting or car headlights. Since then, they have travelled the world.

Playing time: from dusk till 10 pm | Fridays and Saturdays until 11:00 pm

Location: Schwarze Horn
