19. Brandenburg Gate

FOL Award 2025
3D Video Mapping Show

Show Loop approx. 10 minutes

On Berlin’s most iconic landmark, the Brandenburg Gate, three outstanding artists and studios present spectacular 3D video mapping shows: Felix Frank Studio (DE), Laszlo Zsolt Bordos (HU) and PANI PAWLOSKY (PL).

As part of the Festival of Lights Award 2025 and under this year’s motto “Let’s Shine Together”, they once again transform the Brandenburg Gate into a radiant stage for international light art and into a place where people come together to marvel, celebrate and shine as one.

Each evening, Estée Lauder sends a powerful message in the fight against breast cancer. The monument glows in pink light to raise awareness and encourage social engagement.

On October 11, the façade of the Brandenburg Gate will shine in a zebra pattern in cooperation with SEBRACON. This special illumination raises visibility for people living with rare diseases.

Music to the show:

 

Felix Frank Studio | Germany

“Patterns of Infinity” transforms the Brandenburg Gate into a fractal universe of golden, orange, and red hues. Complex, repeating animations unfold across its surfaces, inviting viewers—attuned to the 432 Hz frequency—into a captivating experience of unity, vitality, and transformation. It is a radiant interplay of light, color, and infinite patterns, unfolding in a kinetic celebration.

Modulation – a site-specific projection mapping artwork created for the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin – explores the elemental power of light and shadow as fundamental tools in shaping our perception of space, volume, and meaning. Modulation demonstrates how the simple interplay of light and shadow can transform monumentality, dissolve mass, and reveal hidden spatial relationships within the architecture.

ALL ONE is not a story – it is a score, written in light. Under the musical direction of the award-winning Polish duo ZIMA STULECIA (Macin Rak “Cancer G” and Marek Pędziwiatr “Latarnik”), the Brandenburg Gate becomes an instrument: columns as metronomes, arches as resonating chambers, bodies finding the rhythm. The piece has no fixed beginning and no definite end – it’s as if you open an unfamiliar door and catch a glimpse of something already in motion.
