All over the city there were luminous art expositions. In order of appearance: pixel demonstration, snails on the lake, fire breathing dragon, radioactive mushroom-umbrellas, and lanterns. But of course, there were many many more that I did not take pictures of, and many more that I did not even see! There was something new around every corner, and there were too many corners in all the city to be explored in one evening!
(above) Roasting myself the unofficial, national sausage of Switzerland: cervelas. They are cut in a cross at each end of the sausage and roasted on a stick so that the ends bend open like flower petals. They are very delicious! If you are Swiss and were once a child, you have tried them!
There were so many awesome projections! The last picture is of the main event, a short animated film that played with the building on which it was projected. It is a school, so the story was lead by the mascot/school master during which we were taken through a series of adorable lessons ranging from math to PE to the traditional legends about where babies come from. There was a history of the clock tower projected on the clock tower, a film about a boy and an alien abducted radish on the entirety of a house (accompanied by some tasteful electronica), a family of weird and endearing witches on a roof, and moving laser animals on the city gates!
My favorite part was drawing on a paper lantern and sending it out into the lake. It was magnificent and meaningful. I accidentally did my drawing upside-down, but I decided that that way my message would go up to heaven. Thank you Monika and Tabea for sharing such a wonderful evening with me!
