Few hours around London enjoying Lumiere London. They were four nights only. Thanks to my friend Ania to invite me to enjoy together. Loved it so much. We spent wonderful time there.
A festival of arts and ideas commemorating the Great Fire of London, a
series of art installations, talks and events took place over five days.
For the finale, London 1666, a 140m long representation of 17th century
London designed by David Best and built by local young people was set
alight
on the Thame
Bigger, brighter and bolder, the Lumiere London light festival
Lumiere is produced by Artichoke.
Artichoke is a leading arts charity that
works with artists to invade public spaces and put on extraordinary and
ambitious events that live in the memory forever.
Artichoke projects take place outside of traditional arts venues like
theatres and galleries. Previous projects include bringing central
London to a standstill with The Sultan’s Elephant; broadcasting love poetry from illuminated tents along the coastline of the UK for Deborah Warner’s Peace Camp; and burning a 140m long model of 17th century London on the Thames for London’s Burning, marking the 350th anniversary of the Great Fire of London.
Artichoke: a rare and inspirational mix of creative energy and sheer
professional competence. They have never ducked a challenge.
