Seeing Stars, We Switched Off The City Lights To See The Stars In Your Own Street!
Lights off, stars on! We launched Seeing Stars, a modern fairytale that is only one light switch away. Studio Roosegaarde, the city of Franeker and Unesco Netherlands teamed up to bring back the stars to the people, for a moment of bright connection in darker days. A new way of celebrating that gives a deep sense of collectivity.
By switching off all non-essential lights in Franeker, something that has always been present was revealed: a sky full of wonder. A universal heritage, there for everyone to enjoy, in a COVID-19 time where we often can feel so isolated.
Unesco Netherlands aims to recognise seeing stars as a form of universal heritage.
We have a project page where you can see the amazing photos and the poetic official movie: https://www.studioroosegaarde.net/project/seeing-stars.
We just launched the project so hope you can share it on your great Bored Panda!
Best, Roosegaarde
