A festive holiday atmosphere in Griesplatz the central historical square of Lana. Presented throughout the evenings of each weekend in December 2013, a Luce Dipinta production of an architectural projection using religious images and icons taken mainly from the cultural surroundings and churches of Lana, including many frescoes and paintings, mixed with choral music and song.
Running in parallel with the Christmas market and late-night shopping, a celebration of a christian Christmas, a warm atmosphere repeated throughout each evening.
Using a clock face from one of the many church towers we projected the time of each presentation directly on the building. This way the passing public was able to choose a time that best suited their evening Christmas festivities and shopping in the open-air Christmas market.

Video:
This video was shot during rehearsals one week before the first evening presentation, so you will notice that there is light pollution from the street lamps, and a few of the windows and shutters are open. For the public presentation however, all lighting was off and all windows and shutters were closed.
Music:
Wachet Auf, Ruft Uns Die Stimme; Hymnus Veni, Redemptor Gentium; Wie Schön Leuchtet Der Morgenstern - Gabrieli Consort & Players; Stille Nacht (Silent Night) - Dresden Kreuzchor.
