The Red Button III
One of seven installations during the event Lights in Alingsås 2016 – the theme of the year is Enlightenment. It is based on the 17 Global Goals for Sustainable Development agreed to by 193 world leaders. This installation is inspired by the goals "13 Climate action", "14 Life below water" and "15 Life on land".
Workshop head: Ignacio Valero, Spain (half a designer, half a teacher): "Our current living status is extremely weak and it is due our own behavior. First we see a paradise: an extremely nice living place holding life within. It might look static at the first glance but breathes and breezes. But when someone push one of the three buttons the paradise burst into flames as a direct metaphor of our social and individual actions. We addressed individual awareness of all the 17 UN goals."
Every year in september/october leading international lighting designers come to Alingsås to hold a week´s workshop with participants from all over the world. Together they light a number of buildings and locations around the town centre. Around 80 000 people come every year to see the designs during the month-long event.
