Kari Kola (FI) → Magical Garden

About project

Magical Garden was created by Finnish master of moving light effects. This installation on Střelecký Ostrov was based on dynamic lighting, strong colours, and a meditative tempo, which together formed an intense atmosphere that penetrated even the farthest corners of Prague. Its calm setting was created by a musical accompaniment specially composed for this occasion.
