Copenhagen Light Festival
/For the Light Festival, there are 45 light installations at locations around the city and these vary in scale.
Aurora Sky picks out the facade of one of the large buildings on Rådhuspladsen - the square in front of city hall - in blue and turquoise to compete with the other neon signs of the huge square whereas at Stormbroen - at the south-west corner of the Christiansborg canal - patterns like those in the infamous lava lamps of the 1960s flow through the arches of the bridge while the normal traffic and night life of the city pass across the bridge, apparently oblivious to the light show below. The bright, sharp-green line by Båll & Brand cuts right across the city while the thin elegant fronds of Rest by Group 3 in an open courtyard alongside one of the office buildings of Nordea on Christianshavn are just waist high and change from red to blue as people approach.
