Pink Enchantment
Interactive Light Installation
As visitors walk across the bridge, clouds of colours will appear creating an electric, vibrant atmosphere. The light and interactive design is unique to the site, consisting of a series of interactive section, which together will become a large visual installation that is tailored to its location.

Each bridge looks different, scaled to different sizes in response to the opportunities and limitations presented by the site.
The installation is designed to create a high impact, immediate transformation. The work creates opportunities for people to interact with the artwork and each other in an imaginative way. Pink Enchantment is an ephemeral interactive installation that connects with the essential elements of light.
The project is inspired by the grandness of ever changing sky and ocean waves that breaks into a mist of colours. As visitors walk across the bridge they will activate short, cloud-like bursts of colour. The smoke cloud lingers, and creates an immersive experience which inspire and intrigue audiences.
When there is no pedestrian traffic on the bridge, it will revert to a single colour lighting the structure of the bridge, until a visitor walks across and the bridge comes to life. Each section is independent and visitors can play independently or collaborate to cover the bridge in colour clouds. The work is transient, reacting to nature and win. Audiences will see high floating coloured haze or low hanging, mysterious mist.
We been coming each year and this is one of the cooler projects. Very nice job!" Visitors, Baltimore Light City 2018
The approach to Reykjavik City Hall was transformed thanks to Tine Bech. Her beautiful work drew thousands of visitors to the building and could be seen from miles away – and when it blended with the Nordic Lights, it created magic like never before seen in our city. It was stunning and people loved it, so do I. It was a major hit in the city and we are so proud to have had you here."
