Watch: Nobel Prize-themed light shows dazzle Stockholm

Spectators in Stockholm took in the the annual Nobel Prize Festival of Lights on Monday.

Projections of the light installations will ripple across the Baltic Sea this week, reflecting pieces of art inspired by Nobel prize laureates.

Revellers are invited to walk around the 22 installations during Sweden's short winter days days.

Highlights include ‘Wave Field’ seesaws that had faces lit up with joy over in Charles XII Square, and DNA and blood cell projections were placed in City Hall.

Co-curator of Nobel Week Lights Lara Szabo Greisman said the goal of the light festival is to connect the public with the prizes by bringing them “into our everyday lives.”

“All of these were prizes that were awarded... for example, the LED was completely forgotten that this was a Nobel Prize,” Szabo Greisman added.

Amid the current energy crisis, organisers have sought to reduce the consumption of main installation on the City Hall by 40%, and use LED technology to keep the festival as sustainable as possible this year.

55-year-old teacher Tuula Torro said she enjoyed walking with a mulled wine around the free installations.

“This was just hilarious fun to sit on this seesaw, going back and forward. Haven’t done that for 45 years,” she said.

The impressive light installations are illuminating the city between December 3 and 11, as part of the Nobel Prize week.
