River of Light returns to Liverpool from Friday, October 27 until Sunday, November 5
The annual event returns to Liverpool's city centre next month, showcasing illuminated art installations created by the most innovative light artists from across the world.
Taking inspiration from the Eurovision Song Contest's recent 'United By Music' slogan, River of Light's theme is 'United By Light'. Although most of the installations making up the 2km out are being kept under wraps, four creations have been revealed.
The 'Lampshades Bouquet' is created by the French artistic studio TILT who are inspired by everyday objects into giving them a twist of humour and poetry. Expect gigantic outdoor versions of a household lamp, curated in a very special way which will light up in a variety of colours. A bench at each bouquet’s base makes it the most unique location to take the weight off.
'Elysian' and 'Elysian Arcs' are two never-before-seen commissions courtesy of Sydney-based design studio Atelier Sisu. Encouraging people to find joy in the every day, a giant inflatable creation will allow people to walk around and through it as colour reacts to light and form. Liverpool-based award-winning composer John McHugh has been chosen by Atelier Sisu to produce a brand new soundscape for both the Elysian artworks.
The full list of installations and their locations will be revealed in early October. This year’s event will run from Friday, October 27, until Sunday, November 5.Nabzy's owners say 'this isn't the Liverpool way' after kids pull hijab off worker's head
