Lichtfestival Gent - Festival of Lights Ghent Belgium

From Thursday 27 January until Saturday 29 January 2011 the Festival of Lights took place in the historical city centre of Ghent. . The event spotlighted the prestigious Ghent light plan. The international network LUCI awarded the “City People Light Award“ to the city of Ghent in 2004. At different unique locations lightning artists presented their work. Visitors followed a 5 km walking route where they could admire the work of about 20 national and international artists such as Rafaël Lozano Hemmer, Alberto Garutti, Pablo Valbuena and Dirk Braeckman; light designers, cultural partners and the art education in Ghent. The route followed the water along many historical places and monuments. This particular sequence was taken at the Old Post Office building (today : Plaza) on the ’Korenmarkt’, unravelling a fabulous scenic 3D light and sound show by Pectaculaires - Allumeurs d’images.
