Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#13 urban nature | Light Installation

Dennis Nolda, Essen | Music: Daniel Kurniczak, Essen

Using something in the urban space that is already there and transforming it into art is what drives Dennis Nolda. So he takes the wildly overgrown pergola at Kopstadtplatz and transforms it into a tangible passageway with lots of light. With the help of LED balls, he transforms the vegetal roof into a luminous sky that stretches over the visitors. Surrounded by the magic of light and accompanied by melodic sounds and rhythmic beats, they are transported into the nature of the city.

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