Essen Light Fes&shy;ti&shy;val

#14 | Touch the Star | interactive Light installation

Boris Petrovski, North Macedonia

The stars have always been a dream destination for people, combined with a strong desire to reach them and explore them fully. The interactive light installation "Touch the Star" fulfils this desire by allowing visitors to reach for the stars. The great thing is that when they touch the installation, it even changes. An interaction that is preceded by anticipation and followed by happiness. Because touch is the starting point of everything. Touch is connection, love, creation, the big bang.
