One of the most significant cultural events of contemporary visual arts in the region – the BLIK BLIK Light Festival – is coming back to Pilsen in March. For the very first time in the history of the festival, the 11th edition will last three day. At particular stops, artists from around the world will present laser light mapping, video mapping, giant static projections or interactive light exhibits tailored to the location. Every year during the festival, various places around Pilsen come to life with light, thus offering a unique spectacle for anyone enjoying an evening stroll. In the spirit of this year’s topic, Symbiosis, the festival focuses on the inseparable relationship between man, city and nature.
Tickets for the indoor installations must be purchased on the festival website or at the venue. There are two options on offer – a standard pass, which includes 6 entries to installations on one festival day of your choice (Thursday, Friday, or Saturday), and an express pass, which allows you to visit any installation on all three days. The number of express passes is limited.
The exhibits can be viewed from 7 pm to 11:59 pm.
