Snaping Lights

Snaping Lights
i

In the installation Snaping Light, movement becomes insight. Those who engage with it discover how light and space merge into a play of perception.

As in life, one moves through Snaping Light at first unknowingly, until all impressions come together as a whole. The installation invites visitors to move and find the decisive point — the moment when light, space, and perception unite. Yet the experience doesn’t end there: Snaping Light encourages continued exploration — playing with depth, perspective, and sensory perception.

Nicolight

Nicolight has been quietly involved in the Lilu Festival for some time — contributing to the first Gütsch illumination, the design of the Lilu logo, and projects such as The Magic Tree.
