Barriere

Break through barriers together

Barriere is an interactive installation about breaking barriers together. It was first conceived for the Leipzig Festival of Lights 2024. This festival commemorated 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 aim to give people the experience of breaking through a barrier together. This could be any kind of barrier that people experience in their lives. Individually, you can push against the columns of light and make them move. But only when people work together, the barrier can be broken.
