Guided Tours of Light Guerrilla 2025: Disruptions

At this year's, already the 19th edition of the Lighting Guerrilla festival, Center Rog will also participate. The Park of the Erased will transform into a magical light venue, where Finnish artist Antti Kulmala will present two stunning light installations titled Vectors of Light and Olio.

In designing the Vectors of Light project, the artist was inspired by patterns of everyday human movement in cities. To illustrate the randomness and unpredictability of such dynamics, he developed a system using colored ropes, pulleys, and motors to direct a series of light threads in space. The minimalist geometric setup at three locations, reminiscent of analog laser beams, creates a constantly changing light backdrop, influencing the very image or the viewer's perception of the urban space. Additionally, the artist will present a series of kinetic sculptures titled Olio in the Park of the Erased in front of Center Rog, which, through rotation, create a unique illusion of transforming matter into light waves.

Join us for the opening of the light installation in the Park of the Erased on Friday, May 23, 2025, at 9:30 PM.
