GLOW lighters

Light art

Everywhere on the route

Imagine this: a duo, wrapped in long coats, moving through the darkness. You’ll find them along the GLOW route, ready to answer your questions, about the stories behind the light art, the right direction, or simply to share a smile. They talk, they listen, and they help you discover GLOW. The Lighters are the hosts of the night, always nearby, always with a story to tell.

But then, as soon as you take out your phone and flash, a spectacle unfolds. Their coats suddenly light up, transforming into a radiant artwork that brings the darkness to life. It’s in your hands, and that’s the power of the Lighters: without your interaction, they remain storytellers, waiting for the moment when you make them shine with a flash. Talk to them and light them up!

You can also hear their voices in the audio tour, created together with Studio040 and Studio Make. With warm tones and familiar voices, the Lighters guide you through the story of GLOW, from artwork to artwork, from point of light to point of light.
