Lux Helsinki 2017 - "Light pipes" and "Domus 360°- Four Homes"
original work "Light pipes" from Rölli Ridanpää & Tero Laine
"Domus 360° - Four Homes" from Tarja Ervasti
Light Pipes depicts the urban landscape – the light and the interaction between people represent the city’s diverse opportunities. The interactive installation comprises copper pipes and valves that adjust the brightness of the lamps.
The installation is based on interaction: twelve viewers at a time can adjust the valves. By working together they can dim the city or make it shine in full brightness.
Light Pipes asks how individuals and communities can influence large entities. Who controls my city? Can we together influence the conditions in which we live?

For the first time in the history of Lux Helsinki all four sides of Helsinki Cathedral will become part of one light installation: Domus 360° – Four Homes can be experienced from all four directions, both near and far. The brightly illuminated dome will be visible from far away, while up close the installation can be admired from Senate Square, Unioninkatu, Kirkkokatu and the upper level of the cathedral. The installation is inspired by the idea of the home and the structures that people base their existence on – their spiritual homes.
Each side of the cathedral will have its own motif and style. The eastern side will present a family of three created out of light sculptures, the northern side will represent the natural elements, the western side will play with architectural forms, and the southern side will describe eternity and the themes of heaven and space. All four sides are connected by a common colour scheme reflecting the passing of the day from morning to night.
The overall experience created by the light installation is augmented by specially composed music. The installation runs non-stop in approximately seven-minute cycles.
Artistic design: Tarja Ervasti
Music: Willie Budsko
