SPOTLIGHT FESTIVAL BUKAREST 2019
Bucharest – 100 years of Romanian unity
On the occasion of the celebrations for the 100th anniversary of the great unity of Romania, the team of the FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS Berlin created various light art projections on four historic buildings in Bucharest. The motifs featured personalities and events closely linked to the history of Romania.
Three nights from November 30th to December 2nd, 2018, around the Romanian National Day on December 1, these four important buildings of the capital shone along the Calea Victoriei: the Athenaeum, the University Library, the CEC Palace and the Palace of Justice.

Light Carpet IRIS, by TUE in cooperation with Pronorm
This extraordinary carpet played with the perception of the visitors. The changing colours of light brought the patterns to life and provided a unique experience for eyes and mind.
Penguin Army by Chillout Lichtdesign, co-produced by Festival of Lights International GmbH
An army of penguins shone in the middle of Bucharest. Sounds strange? In Kretzulescu Park in the heart of the city they brought light into the darkness. And if you listened carefully, you found Fynn and Dana, two very talkative penguins who explained some things in more detail.
Angels of Freedom by OGE Creative Group
After the great success of the Angels of Freedom at the Berlin FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS, the German metropolis has sent the Angels of Freedom to Bucharest for the Spotlight Festival. Five luminous angels invited the visitors to become part of the installation.
