Tzahal SquareTraffic Jam! | Merav Eitan & Gaston

Zahr - OGE Group | IsraelThis vertical traffic jam finds the humor in

those annoying urban situations in which we are stuck every day.

We think of traffic lights, car lights and signal lights as things that are technical, practical and normal. The artist transforms them into

an original and funny moment.

Green Route25

New Gate LawnGiant Dandelions | Olivia d’Aboville

Philippines90 differently sized, giant flowers - form a forest for the

public to enjoy. The dandelions are made of some 9,000 recycled water bottles. They were

cut up to be welded with nylon again into a work of art.

Olive Tree Lawn Large Fire Tornado | Ivo Schoofs - Kinetic Humor | The Netherlands

Fire is the mother of light; nature in all its destructive beauty. Artist and technical engineer Ivo Schoofs

saw what happened when a tornado raged across a forest fire to elevate the flames. He wondered if it was

possible to reproduce that very same effect.The Large Fire Tornado is created by a powerful fire source and 36 industrial fans. You are about to see

light in its most original form.

Damascus GateGloboscope Stories of Damascus Gate | Albert Yashinsky, Arik Putterman, Yavin

Ben-Reshef, Garo Kaboshian | IsraelThe Tree of Life appears repeatedly in different

faiths and cultures. The tree symbolizes longevity, wealth, honor, peace and an unblemished world – our highest aspirations as human beings. Through

video and animation technology, the stories will come to life on the Damascus Gate, and will prominently

reflect the Gate’s surrounding environment.

Gan HaTkuma Archeological ruins

Flora | Philipp Artus | GermanyThe animation in FLORA is generated by sine waves that travel through a string of lines. This wave principle often appears in nature when energy is transmitted through a medium like air or water. It can also be observed in the

locomotion of animals, in which kinetic energy is transmitted successively through joints.

Back of Zion GateUniversal Spin | Alessandro Lupi |

GermanyUniversal Spin is a kinetic installation that self

regulates with the wind and generates a spinning three-dimensional structure. A game of light,

shadows and sound.

The Illuminated Orchestra | Pyromania Group | Israel

A musical performance event. A surrealistic, illuminated, 5-person circus orchestra embarks

on a procession of rhythm and light. The procession stops and collects people around

it to dance within the illuminated celebration, then moves on to the next stop.

with Aether & Hemera’s design aesthetic. Dozens of handcrafted origami, encasing

dynamic LED lights to create an imaginative and immersive magical experience. Creating beautiful

ever changing lighting effects, mesmerizing patterns of waves and bright rainbows.

White Route4

Christian Information CenterTHE PRINCE OF LIGHTS | Damien

Fontaine | FranceThe Christian Information Center becomes a theatre of a fantastic saga. The façades swing and sway as our

young hero passes by, following in the footsteps of the light swallowers. Along the winding roads of far-away

lands, you will see him appear – first as a tiny dot among colossal insects and tentacular plants, then as a giant

among the stars-until he finds his light.

jets of water shooting towards the sky and disappearing soon again, leaving behind only

memories of this magical story. Fountain show will start each 10 minutes during festival hours.

Hurva SquarePicture in Motion | AVS | Israel

A video extravaganza projected on a wall of the Hurva synagogue, synchronized with a video

projected on a screen mounted on an industrial robot arm. The robot’s movement synchronized with the video creates a dance and gives rise to

an entire choreography that incorporates all of the media.

White Route 13

HaBonim Garden BReflection of co-existence | Cochavi

& Klein | IsraelAn environmental sculpture that symbolizes both ongoing change and a sense of entrapment along a central axis. Two rings of light complement each

other while the light reflected from them differs. When viewers move away and look at the work

from a distance, they see how everything can be integrated to create beauty and co-existence.

Red Route12

HaBonim Garden AThe Bubble AVS | Ido Sapir, Noa

Kressel | IsraelWithin the bowl, the bubble integrates with other

bubbles released in its direction; it collides, connects or explodes bubbles that are too large.

The Bubble project is a voice-operated game produced by its participants.

Red Route11

Mount Zion trailChurch of the Dormition | Kobi Rosenthal |

IsraelA musical light concert – a celebration of light

and color. Breathtaking light movements and a live opera performance combine in a singular experience. The tower will come to life with

colors and shadows and a choreography of light rings will lead the public on.

Red Route10

Batei HaMachseh SquareUrban Poetry | Ocubo | Portugal

Urban Poetry Stereoscopic 3D Video Mapping using 3D anaglyph glasses. The installation takes place in the urban scenario

of a city where a mysterious character, one dancer/traceur, is moving by Parkour using the

architectural elements of the building. Thestruggle between the character and the city

produces scenes highly poetic mixing hard, urban elements with natural ones.

Red Route

Maronite Convent StreetSpin | Fugara | Israel

The installation investigates urban life as a perennial quest for the unattainable.

We use light as a raw material, like graffiti on a wall. “Spin” reacts to the movement of

passersby, and translates the visitors’ motions into living beings of light and shadows

along the alley.

Maronite Convent Street plazaGreen Marvelous Opulence | Maro Avrabou

and Dimitri Xenakis | FranceNo doubt the progress of science have solved major

problems and brought to mankind a real well-being. But the desire for a continuous production flow, the dream of a permanent opulence, do they not let appear the danger of transforming organisms into standardized

serial products? The artists use plastic shopping bags that fold to make them look like cabbages or salads.

Eli Kaplan-Wildmann and Talya Tomer Israel

Huge Victorian lampshades, delicately decorated by hand, light up the craftsmen and vendors of the market. Originally created as protection from the harmful effects of a new invention - the electric

light bulb - today they hearken back to a time when the human touch prevailed – as it still does in the

market around this square.

Korov Trail – Old City WallPhotography – Painting with LightMartin Adin | Pyromania Creative

Productions | IsraelSmart flashlights and an interplay of light

and shadow produce a complex, varied, and multilayered light painting which gradually reveals itself to viewers. The painting remains in its final state for a brief period, then dissolves, layer after

layer, turning the wall once again into a blank canvas awaiting the creation of a new image.

Open CardoTree of Life | Alon Birger | Israel

In Kabbalah, the Tree of Life represents the process and secrets of Creation.

Sometimes, in relation to the sephirot, Rabbi Kook used the concept of light, which underscores the spiritual dimension of the

sephirot and the process by which they unfold and emanate from each other.

Closed CardoCardo Circus | Yossi JimmyElian Kaczka –Lula | Israel

The Cardo – the ancient and eternal marketplace, full of colors, aromas and sounds. The artist
