Stockholm Art participates in Nobel Week Lights through a temporary art installation at Odenplan.
The artist Katja Pettersson creates a light work that, with its visual power, attracts contemplation and reflection in the spirit of Alfred Nobel. The work is projected on a large glass screen outside the main entrance to Gustaf Vasa Church and shows powerful explosions in slow motion.
The pressure wave moves matter and forms random cloud vortices with fascinating color cascades – beautiful, enigmatic, frightening and alluring all at the same time.
