Chemnitz’s ‘Light Our Vision’ Opens for Four Nights Across Ten Landmarks

This edition channels public input to rethink central sites during the city’s Capital of Culture year.

Overview

  • Nightly projections run from 19:30 through Saturday, tracing a light route from the Roter Turm to the Aktienspinnerei.
  • Ten locations are featured, with first-time illuminations at the Aktienspinnerei, Schillerplatz, and the university library.
  • International works headline the program, including an Italian water dancer at the Roter Turm, a Polish collage animating the opera, and an Indonesian “Dreams in Color” on the Karl-Marx-Monument.
  • Marienplatz hosts seven portals that turn ideas from more than 80 residents into images using AI, gathering visions for revitalizing the 27,000-square-meter site.
  • Admission is free, pieces loop for five to ten minutes, and organizers emphasize comfortable, safe movement over attendance records after roughly 75,000 visitors last year.
