The festival※
Lichtstadt Feldkirch is a four-day biennial light show in the city of Feldkirch. In the "nighttime," light installations are presented at ten different venues. Many of the projects are created for the respective location. The installations are free. And barrier-free accessible.
"As a scene for light art, the urban space offers numerous unexplored possibilities——to experience our present through architecture, light and "technology,"——to break viewing habits. Or to illuminate the past. ※ Artistic development can be made possible and thus different thematic/technically innovative focal points can be set will." – Lichtstadt Association
Asynchronous to the main events, the smaller "Spotlight" events have been taking place since 2020, "each of which focuses on an artist or a group of artists."
The festival and the "Spotlight" series are organized by, the non-profit association "Lichtstadt", which was founded in 2017.
