Somnius

Best Time to See:

Welcome to Somnius, the immense art installation that turns your every move into music and light! This huge, glowing hexagonal structure, made of over half a million lights, floats just above the crowd. The real magic? It watches you dance, jump, and wave, and then immediately plays a unique concert and light show based on what everyone is doing. It’s not a show you just watch; it’s a shared experience where you are the conductor and the performer.

Artist Statement:

Somnius transcends the boundaries of waking life, elevating us to a state unbound and mutable. A mesmerising sky of light and sound dances above us in response to our every movement. Reminding us of our ongoing relationship with the cosmos, nature and each other. We are free to explore another version of what life could look like. An unrestricted reimagining of the world. Together. Somnius is not an individual dream, but a collective one.
