Pump House I
A slowly changing light on the trees and the house. The installation is inspired by Orpheus and Eurydice, a tragic love story from Greek mythology. When Eurydice died from a snakebite, Orpheus descended into the underworld of Hades, to recover his lost wife.
It is one of the temporary light installations during the event "Lights in Alingsås 2024" – the theme of the year is "The Magical World of Mythology".
Alingsås Municipality organises the event Lights in Alingsås every autumn. Since 2000 the municipality has worked with the PLDA (Professional Lighting Designers´ Association). 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 70,000 people come every year to see the designs during the month-long event.
Work shop head for this installation: Valerie Insardi, based in Denver, USA.
