F-Light, the event dedicated to the world of light, which in recent years has characterized the Florentine nights of the Christmas season, passes the baton to the new Green Line festival.
The monuments and squares of the city, from the center to the suburbs, remain the protagonists, with games of light and color, but Green Line also moves to the places of active citizenship and museums, to offer food for thought related to issues such as ecology, sustainability, climate change, and energy saving.
Precisely with a view to saving energy, the new festival sees a reduction in the number of light installations, while the program is enriched by a large thematic forum (Climate change and heritage), exhibition appointments and a series of artist interventions.
Theme in the theme of this first edition are the four elements, which will connect like a red thread all the artistic projects of the festival.
The locations and installations of the festival
- The iconic videomapping on the Ponte Vecchio, curated by artist and theater director Giancarlo Cauteruccio and inspired by Ovid's Metamorphoses.
- The video on the facade of Palazzo Vecchio, entrusted to Florentine creative Stefano Fumasi - The Fake Factory.
- The special lettering in Michelozzo's courtyard of Palazzo Medici Riccardi.
- The artistic lights on the facade of the Chamber of Commerce, the gates and towers of Florence.
- The video projection on the facade of the Museo Novecento and on a part of Piazza Santa Maria Novella, curated by artist David Reimondo and inspired by Francesco d'Assisi's Canticle of the Creatures.
- The illuminations and light installations in the squares of all the city's neighborhoods.
Exhibitions
- At the Sala d'Arme of Palazzo Vecchio the concluding exhibition of WONDERFUL!, a project of Museo Novecento, with a double solo show dedicated to two young artists, Camilla Alberti and Anouk Chambaz.
