Chi-Yung Wong: Tower of Light
light installation
Park of the Erased, Center Rog, Ljubljana // until 20 June
OPENING: Tuesday, 26 May 2026, at 9:30 p.m.

Tower of Light is a monumental light installation, a site-specific work that addresses local themes and specific circumstances with each placement. With its placement in Ljubljana, the project refers to the local river ecosystem: formally fluid and incessantly altering project alludes to the flowing of the river and, in this way, highlights the relationship between human, technology and the natural habitat. With its dynamic lighting and sculptural design, the installation evokes the impression of movement, thus highlighting the physical similarity between light and water. The sustainably conceived project that does not cause light pollution therefore strikes a balance between innovative creativity and natural ecosystems.

CHI‐YUNG WONG (1981) is an interdisciplinary artist, curator and scenographer. He works mainly in the fields of spatial installations, light art and creative education. As an artist and curator, he promotes cross-cultural collaboration between the USA, Europe and his native Hong Kong. He regularly collaborates with such institutions as Théâtre de Liège (Belgium), West Kowloon Cultural District Authority (Hong Kong), ETH Zurich and the University of the Arts in Zurich. In 2020, he was selected as an artistic fellow at Yale University. He lives and works between Asia and Europe.
