ABOUT THE LIGHT WORK
Corona – Black Hole Sun is one of the festival’s light works, whose message we so desperately need at this time. The work is a re-creation of the recognizable corona that occurs during a solar eclipse. The rare experience of the life-giving sun standing like a black silhouette, with a sharp and vibrating ring of light rays around it. A gloomy feeling that our entire basis of existence has been put out of play for a short while, but also a rare and amazing experience that heralds the return of light.

The light work was conceived by the design office Kollision in collaboration with LiteNordic Spaces and Martin Professional and was created specifically for Copenhagen’s waterfront, prominently mounted on the old facade of Nordatlantens Brygge, whose brick stages the work’s basic idea in the most beautiful way.

The work appears as a clear and easily decodable circle, on which programmable light is mounted, which radiates on the facade in such a way that the illusion of a solar eclipse is formed. The passer-by sees how the light radiates from the dark center, and illustrates the familiar form of pure energy. Not necessarily an experience we have all had, but which we all recognize as an almost magical phenomenon.

The work intends to recapture the name Corona, and anchor it in the optimism of the sun, rather than the heavy blanket of deprivation that the name has in these times laid all over the world. The work aims to instill hope and provide a luminous experience, in the middle of winter darkness.

A belief that brighter times will return.

Management of the work
The dynamic installation will with small courses create pulse and sun salutations for the spectators. The work’s complex lighting technology layer makes it possible to let the viewer interact with the light via a website on their own mobile phone. By simply sliding his finger across the contour of the circle on the phone, the viewer adds more energy to the sun, which now shines even more powerfully on the surroundings. A living experience in the dark that points towards brighter times. The work is managed by Kollision’s own software, Media Architecture Platform (MAP).
