3 D Videomapping Show “FoL Award”

Show loop approx. 15 minutes

As part of this year’s Festival of Lights Awards, Germany’s tallest building, the Berlin TV Tower, becomes a glowing focal point of artistic freedom.

Six outstanding artist teams from six countries—Kurbas Production, Studio Eigengrau, Pani Pawlosky, MOMAP Studio, Jérémy Oury & Captain Energy—will transform this iconic structure into a radiant canvas of colors, abstract forms, and powerful messages.

For the 2024 Festival of Lights Award, under the theme “Share your Light – Express Yourself,” the TV Tower becomes a stage for avant-garde artworks, turning the building into a dynamic light sculpture. Artists are invited to use its unique shape to create hypnotic illusions and imaginative animations, transforming the tower into a beacon of creativity: a visual spectacle that brings dreams and visionary ideas to life, illuminating the Berlin sky.

The Festival of Lights would like to sincerely thank HAUPTSTADT MACHEN from the State of Berlin, Sparda-Bank Berlin, Renault, Kleinanzeigen, Wolt, LEGO GmbH and Estée Lauder Companies.

Captain Energy | Niederlande

Captain Energy presents THE MERMAID: The television tower begins as a cold, metallic monument – a symbol of the rigid boundaries of human order and control. But piece by piece, the metal façade crumbles under the influence of the imagination. A new world bubbles up from the cracks in the steel – a deep, shimmering underwater landscape full of vibrant marine life. In the midst of this mysterious transformation, a mermaid appears with a radiant light that transforms the tower into a beacon of freedom. Her light reveals the beauty and freedom that lies dormant within each of us, just waiting to be unleashed.

Jérémy Oury | Frankreich/Mexiko

Jérémy Oury, an artist from France and Mexico, presents his work POV, which puts the viewer in the unique perspective of an artist. In this mapping, the architecture itself becomes a canvas on which the cursor glides over the building using fascinating 3D effects. With every click, every movement, a new dimension is revealed, as if the building were the interface between artist and audience. The work invites the viewer not only to look at the external form of the building, but also to experience the creative process behind it – a special perspective that allows the building to appear in a completely new light.

Kurbas Production | Ukraine

Kurbas Production team from Ukraine tell the story with their work INVICTUS: “The video mapping reflects on the concept of freedom and conveys its story through visual elements. Each pixel vibrates with an ethnic code, a testimony to the pursuit of individuality. This digital ornament pulsates with the spirit of those who came before us. A new generation blossoms, rising from the ashes of Invictus ancestors who remained steadfast in the face of darkness. Great shared freedom thrives on the foundation of the personal, inherent freedom that lives within each of us.”

MOMAP Studio | Spanien

With THE FREEDOM OF LIFE, Spanish studio MOMAP has created an impressive symbiosis of art, technology and nature. Snakes in bright colors wind their way across the television tower and show how everything in life is connected. Depictions of nature such as flying birds, tree roots and storms symbolize the close connection between freedom and the forces of nature.

Pani Pawlosky | Polen

REBEL BERLIN by Pani Pawlosky captures the rebellious spirit of Berlin. It is a visual and musical journey that celebrates the freedom and creative expression of the city. The projection uses surrealistic elements and vibrant colors to embody the energy of Berlin through techno, movement and abstraction. The constant transformation and play with shapes and music reflect the dynamism and unconventionality that makes Berlin so unique. It is a tribute to the city that unites freedom, art and rebellion as the cornerstones of its identity.

studio eigengrau | Deutschland

With MORE FREEDOM, studio eigengrau from Berlin presents a powerful visual reflection on the fragility of freedom. This work is more than just a projection – it is a shining memorial that reminds us that freedom should never be taken for granted. Often overlooked or forgotten, it is revived in this art installation as a silent but powerful message to all those who have lost sight of its value. MORE FREEDOM asks us to take a step back, remember and become aware of the precious essence of freedom again – a visual poem that speaks to us quietly yet unmistakably.
