Berlin Illuminations Festival

About this listing

An extraordinary event took place in Berlin, which attracted the attention of locals and tourists from all over the world. On 2 January 2023, the first international festival of light and street art ‘Berlin Illuminations’ took place in the heart of the German capital. The event brought together artists from all corners of the world to showcase their extraordinary light installations, interactive sculptures and 3D pavement paintings.

The centrepiece of the festival was a spectacular light projection on the Brandenburg Gate, which told the story of Berlin from historical times to the present. Using the latest technology, the projection was not only a visual work of art, but also an interactive experience, allowing the audience to influence the narrative.

Interactive installations were set up at Alexanderplatz, which responded to movement and sounds to create a unique atmosphere. In the Tiergarten Park, art workshops were held for children and adults, where participants could create their own miniature light installations.

“The Berlin Illuminations Festival” ended with a fireworks display over the River Spree, which was inspired by motifs from Berlin street art. The event not only attracted a wide audience, but also highlighted Berlin as a city open to modern art and innovation.
