Durham Lumiere, Light biennial festival, Durham, England.
These pictures are from the Durham Lumiere (2017), a light biennial festival produced by an UK-based company called Artichoke. Every two years, by the use of light technology and installation arts, a temporary urban landscape (only for 4 days) is created in different parts of the medieval city of Durham. The light festival brings many people together who are fascinated by illuminations. Such festival have gained popularity over the last couple of years and have become means to act tourism and attention to cities where they take place.
