It’s almost 11.30 pm, just 30 mins. to go until the light installation “Raypainting” at the Pariser Platz will end. The reason for this event is the beginning and opening ceremony of the Hungarian cultural year in Germany. As with any other installation in this city that puts buildings of Berlin in different lights I put this in the “needs to be visited” list right away as I was watching a report about it at a culture magazine on tv. When I come to the Pariser Platz, a lot other people are already there taking pictures.
Actually waiting until the last day of the installation has it’s big advantage - the snow on the ground delivers a perfect layer for the colours being projected on it. And speaking of the ground: It turns out that the nicest view is not presented by the Brandenburg Gate which is basically set in yellow colour schemes - so, not much different than the usual illumination - no, it is the very colourful ground and the fact that everything, even a light post (see first photo) reflects the different colors of the projected art.
So, congratulations to the artists for this nice idea.
