World-sensation: a Hungarian artist won this year’s Festival of Lights – photos, video
Change language:
This is one of the most spectacular light festivals in the world, and it was organised in Berlin where a Hungarian artist miraculously won the first prize.
The winner, Ádám Kirsch, aka Fat Heat, has been doing street art for more than two decades, and thus, he is internationally one of the most well-known Hungarians in this branch of art, Qubit reported.
The theme of the 15th Festival of Lights at which he could win was the 30th anniversary of the fall of the Berlin wall. Artists of 14 countries took part in the contest, and
their images were projected onto the facade of different buildings in Berlin for 10 days.
People could vote for their favourite on the Internet, which resulted in Mr Kirsch’s overwhelming victory. On our featured image, you can see how the winning image looked on the building of Hotel de Rome in Berlin. The second was the work of a British artist, while the third place went to his Swedish colleague.
