We love working together with art projects with light and installations both in public space and art institutions.

“The aim with our art project is to bring light in the dark winter months to the north, meet people and share with the rest of the world the beauty of the unspoiled nature that is to be found in all of the Nordic countries.”

Selected portfolio:

Traveling SUN is a road trip and a site-spesific art project by IstadPacini ArtLab, 2012- 2016. The SUN is a circular light sculpture, 3 m in diameter, that shifts between a wide range of warm colors. To make the road trip, it was suspended above a flatbed trailer that was pulled by a flat bed truck. The generator that powers the SUN is in the back of the truck, allowing us to drive with the light on all the time.
