Lights On Midnight Culture

Lights On is a leading light-art festival in Romania developed by the Daisler Association. In 2024 we teamed up with Zebel Design Fishbain in Norway to test the cultural dimensions of night in a unique way. By putting Romanian and Norwegian artists together the aim is to showcase various instances in which night becomes visible, tangible and acts as a medium for city people. Through a unique conference and two co-productions we research Midnight Culture.
