bridges. the visitors create a growing, changing light sculpture during the luminale from these 5,000 components (pentagons and bridges). they become swarm artists who can take a piece of sculpture with them as a monocle of light. the light sculpture lww5 is continuously growing outside the market in the courtyard in a completely real and virtual way.
particularly instagramers are being encouraged to take photos of the lighting components in the pop-up manufactory and throughout frankfurt and offenbach, if possible also with individualised components.
