Firefly Field

Anne Frankplantsoen

A swarm of glowing fireflies. When you encounter them, you cannot help but stop in your tracks. It feels like a small miracle: bright, flickering dots of light in the dark of night. And in many ways, it truly is a miracle: even scientists have yet to unravel all the mysteries of fireflies.

While experimenting, Studio Toer discovered a composition of light and technology that naturally echoed the movement of fireflies. From this spark of curiosity, Firefly Field was born: an installation that playfully recreates a mesmerizing swarm of these fascinating creatures. With specially designed LED lights, the collective creates floating, fluttering, glowing points of light that together form a captivating spectacle.

The installation brings these artificial night creatures to life, inviting viewers to step into a magical moment. Reflections across the sloping grass amplify the scene, transforming the park into a dreamlike landscape. And when the dream fades, one feeling lingers: a light, even lovestruck sensation that stays with you long after. Will you let yourself be enchanted?
