19. Brandenburg Gate

FOL Award 2025
3D Video Mapping Show

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.

“Patterns of Infinity” transforms the Brandenburg Gate into a fractal universe of golden, orange, and red hues. Intricate, self-repeating animations ripple across the surfaces, paired with the 432 Hz frequency to immerse viewers in a mesmerizing experience of unity, vitality, and transformation, a luminous interplay of light, color, and infinite patterns unfolding in a kinetic celebration.

Modulation – a site-specific projection mapping artwork created for the Brandenburger Tor, Berlin – explores the elemental strenght of light and shadow as the most essential tools in shaping our perception of space, volume, and meaning. Modulation demonstrates how the bare interaction of light and shadow can alter monumentality, dissolve mass, and reveal hidden spatial relationships within the architecture. In this way, the Brandenburger Tor becomes both canvas and sculpture, a meditation on perception itself. A contemplation of how we construct meaning from contrast, and how light can reconfigure one of Europe’s most iconic symbols of history and unity.

ALL ONE is not a story—it’s a score written in light. Guided by the music 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 resonant chambers, bodies finding the beat. The piece has no fixed beginning or end—like opening an unknown door and glimpsing something already in motion. Each surreal vignette listens for the same downbeat; athletes from different disciplines tune themselves to a common pulse until sound, rhythm and movement lock. Difference isn’t erased—it’s orchestrated. Many tempos, one composition. Let’s shine together.
