Essen Light Fes­ti­val

Discover the Magic of Light

#14 under construction | Light Installation

Dennis Nolda, Essen | Music: Daniel Kurniczak, Essen

There is always a lot going on at construction sites, visually and acoustically. With the installation "Under Construction", the artist Dennis Nolda takes up these aspects and raises the theme of construction sites at Weberplatz to a new level. The sounds of construction machinery slowly transform into music. LED tubes with over 18,000 individually controllable single LEDs and further LED spotlights transform the real construction pit into an impressive light show of colours, shapes and animations that merge with the rocking beats of the music.

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

Location: Weberplatz
