Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#16 Sitting Man | Light Installation

Cédric le Borgne, France

Like the "Flying Man", the installation "Sitting Man" also belongs to "Les Voyageurs" by Cédric le Borgne. The "travellers" appear and disappear in the sky, between dream and reality. They contemplate the city, explore it, caress it. Since their beginnings in Toulouse in the 1990s, the "Voyageurs" have travelled the world, from Geneva to Seoul, from London to Singapore, inviting everyone to take a new look at everyday reality, to rise up and dream.

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

Location: GOP Theater
