The installation "Subjective" shines at international light festivals
16/01/2025
The light installation Subjective, by artist Sílvia Isach (Sínoca), it premiered at the Lluèrnia Festival in Olot in 2024 and has recently been exhibited at several international light festivals, bringing its message about subjectivity and perception to audiences in Catalonia, Switzerland, Denmark, and Germany.
From January 16 to February 23, 2025, the artwork was part of the Copenhagen Light Festival, where it was installed in the large park of Bavnehøj Cemetery. This light installation celebrates point of view and the multiple perspectives that reality can hold. Isach worked with light and space to shape a human face composed of elements placed in strategic locations. Depending on the viewer’s position, the face appeared differently, highlighting how two people can look at the same thing and see it in completely different ways. In doing so, Subjective invites reflection on social diversity, respect, and the standpoint from which we observe the world.
The piece was also on display from January 15 to 26 at the Murten Licht Festival (Switzerland), an event that transforms the historic town center and the lakeside of Murten each winter with light projections and installations that attract thousands of visitors. In this setting, Subjective offered an immersive experience that encouraged active exploration of the space, revealing ever-changing forms and faces depending on the position and movement of the audience.
Its most recent stop was at the renowned Die Blaue Nacht festival in Nuremberg (Germany), held on May 16 and 17, 2025, under the theme “Love and Peace,” marking the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II. Since 2000, this event has become a major night of art and culture in the city’s historic center, drawing over 130,000 visitors. Subjective strongly resonated with this edition’s focus on tolerance, diversity of perspectives, and the pursuit of peaceful coexistence.
Through light, Sílvia Isach transforms public space into a mirror of how we perceive, placing the viewer at the heart of the experience and inviting them to move, observe, and rediscover.
