Boasting artworks designed with energy-saving lighting and/or environmentally-friendly materials, this night festival is a must-visit
If you’ve been interested in championing energy efficiency and are keen to know more about sustainable habits, look no further as Asia’s leading sustainable light festival is back at the charming waterfront of Marina Bay. Organised by Singapore’s urban redevelopment authority and established in 2010, i Light Singapore 2022 showcases light art installations created by Singaporean and international artists.
Held from June 3 to 26, the theme this year is Spark of Light. Utilising a colour that has the shortest wavelength, violet, the festival embodies the most powerful electromagnetic energy in the visible light spectrum. This signifies creativity by awakening the senses, with artists responding to it by repurposing everyday objects and waste into spectacular light installations. These installations hope to encourage active discussions about lifestyles and consumption behaviour to build a more sustainable future.

One of New Zealand’s most sought after light artists Angus Muir delights at the festival this year with his circular installations. Made of fully recyclable marine buoys, they reflect light and give off a magical glow during the day. At night, it comes alive as the thousands of LED lights within the installation create a whirl of colours with spherical gradients.
