Charlottenburg Palace
At Charlottenburg Palace, visitors were delighted by spectacular 3D video mapping. As well as enchanting art by very young up-and-coming artists. The youngest was 2 years old and belonged to a group of children who showed their ideas of diversity with projected drawings at Charlottenburg Palace. Among the children’s artists this year were guests from the Björn Schulz Foundation. The 3D shows were created by RE:SORB (Germany), Segal Media (Iran) and MP-STUDIO (BGR).
The shows at Charlottenburg Palace were made possible by Netflix and the Taiwan Tourism Bureau, among others, which was also represented with its own video show on the topic of diversity. The beauty of Taiwan shone artistically on the imposing palace facade with astonishing impressions.
Charlottenburg Palace with its baroque facade is an impressive backdrop for unique 3D- video art in every festival. This year there are three of these shows to be seen.
Our partner TURISMO DE TENERIFE opened up the extraordinary charm of the island of Tenerife to the audience with a beautiful 3D video show. The Spanish island has 43 nature reserves that cover almost half of the land area. Impressive volcanic landscapes, beaches in different colours, whales and dolphins in protected areas – the island DNA is incredibly diverse. With the illumination, Turismo of Tenerife created visual stimuli that immediately evoked emotions and made people want to travel to this beautiful island.
As part of the “FoL Future Vision Awards”, international light artists presented their visions of a new tomorrow in line with the festival motto “Creating Tomorrow”.
Charlottenburg Palace was another venue for the “Future Vision Award” presented by the Festival of Lights together with the presenting sponsor “Climate Pledge”. In line with the festival motto “Creating Tomorrow”, the artist teams momap, RE:SORB and Clockwork wove their visions of a new tomorrow into impressive video mappings.
In addition to the “Future Vision Award”, Charlottenburg Palace presented another special highlight. The most beautiful pictures from the children’s poster competition “Protect the environment, it is our future”, which was organised by the wirBERLIN initiative, were on display. Congratulations to all the little artists!
At Charlottenburg Palace, visitors were taken on a journey into the molecular depths of nature and its fascinating questions. From the microscopic to the vastness of the cosmos, the mysteries of the connection and origin of things are illuminated. The team of artists behind the impressive 3D projection is RE:SORB from Berlin. Their speciality is creating immersive experiential spaces that create unforgettable and transformative memories.
In 2020, the festival team together with E.ON invited winners of past FESTIVAL OF LIGHTS competitions to present their visions of this year’s motto “Together we shine” on the imposing facade of Charlottenburg Palace. Three teams of artists from three countries will show their interpretation of cohesion, solidarity and unity. The chosen ones? Tina Zimmermann from Berlin, Clockwork from Poland and MP Studio from Bulgaria.
