Melting Glaciers Creates Light Festival in the Alps
The Water Light Festival in Brixen hopes the showcase of impressive light art works will make more people realize that the problems with climate change will affect all.
The whole valley surrounding the old monk and monastery city Brixen/Bressanone was lit up 7 hectares (70.000 m2) by small fireboxes set up by the vineyard farmers. It is also a method needed to keep the vines above -1.
On the imposing facade of the Brixen Cathedral from the year 980 is the projection work "Climate" by Spanish artist group Onionlab has been set up. It is an artwork showing Utopia, the perfect society we dream about with a world without climate change.
Situated in the Alps, the alarm bells are now on in Brixen, known for centuries to produce great food and its culture by the Italians and visitors. A life that also is threatened by climate change, opposed to dystopia, a catastrophic scenario if we do not intervene.
"It doesn't often make us think when we lose glaciers in the Alps because they are part of our world. That's pretty scary," says Werner Zanotti, organizer and Head of Tourism.

"Es stimmt nicht sehr oft nachdenklich, wenn wir Gletscher verlieren in den Alpen, weil die sind Teil unserer Welt. Das ist schon beängstigend. Man weiß nicht, was nachkommt. Das sollte man nachdenken. Da sollte man drüber reflektieren und auch handeln."
