Essen Light Fes&shy;ti&shy;val

#8 | Light and Blessing I | Multisensual Light- and Laserinstallation

Artist Collective SilentMOD, Münster, Germany

Visitors to the venerable Essen Cathedral will be able to enjoy the elaborate light and laser installation "Salvator Mundi" by the artist group SilentMOD from Münster. Last year's installation was a real crowd-puller. Lasers and coloured light conjure up a very special atmosphere, while 1,000 mirror tiles floating in the room create fascinating light reflections. The multi-sensory spatial experience is completed by a pleasant room fragrance and background music. Counsellors are available on site during the festival.

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

Location: inside Essen Cathedral
