ISLAND OF LIGHT 2018
Flowers of Light
The opening piece of art was made by the four graders in the community. Lead by the artist Vladimir Stoces, the task for each student was to, out of recycled plastic material and LED lamps, create a flower showing the persons own identity. Mixed together, the flowers turned into the opening installation on Smögen square

To honor Smögen, the world-famous artist Teresa Mar from Austria presented a specific work of art, with historical photos of people and places on the island mixed into her sparkling colors. She says: “Using art light, I am building bridges between the present and the past”.
Epiflora
Studenter vid Dalarnas högskola, SWE
A WOW-moment for all visitors, made by a group of first graduates from the Institution of Audio-Visual Production at the University of Dalarna. Under the quite strange name “Svärmors tunga” (eng. The mother-in-law´s tongue), they made this 40 minutes long 3D-mapping-projection on the cliff Hästen (eng The Horse) in the bay Vallevik.
Light Spiral
Paul Friedlander, UK
What the world-famous light artist Paul Friedlander talked about in his workshop (länk till Talks&Workshops), he presented in real life in front of one of the beautiful cliffs of Smögen. He said:” I am still childishly fascinated by turning motion into color, and I want to discover it over and over again”.
Secret Garden

A parasitic gesture
Rune Guneriussen, NOR
Significant for Rune Gunerussen from Norway is the so-called IKEA-lamps placed in a landscape to create suggestion. He says: “In a way it shows mankind´s brutal effect on the environment”.
