Barriere

2024 | Break through barriers together

Barriere is about borders and separations. It was conceived for the Leipzig Festival of Lights 2024. This festival commemorates the Peaceful Revolution of Oct 9 1989, when 70.000 people, locked behind the Iron Curtain, protested peacefully for freedom and democracy. With Barriere, I aimed to give people the experience of breaking through a barrier together. Individually, you can push against the columns of light and make them move. But only when people work together, the barrier can be broken.
