Each year hundreds of designers, architects and artist from around the world submit a design to be featured in the famous Amsterdam Light Festival. This year’s theme – the 8th edition – is ‘Disrupt‘. The lucky chosen few go on to build their installation in and around the canals of Amsterdam. There are about 25 light exhibits. The best place to views these is from the water.
The disruptive installations are designed to shake up Amsterdam and its visitors. Some address the effect humans are having on the climate and nature others display paparazzi, the second world war and how all light we see is already in the past.
It was great viewing them by boat.
I particularly liked “All the light you see is from the Past”
Here is a little film featuring some of the installations.
