Lyra

Lights in Alingsås 2026

Lyra is a projection-mapping piece written and created for Lights in Alingsås, a light festival held throughout October 2026 in Sweden. Inspired by Ovid’s Metamorphoses, the work retells three ancient stories of love, loss and transformation, as sung by the mythological poet and musician Orpheus.

The visual language drew inspiration from Symbolism and Romanticism, particularly the works of Odilon Redon, Gustave Moreau, William Blake and Arnold Böcklin. These influences were combined with the layered aesthetics of traditional paper theatre to create a moving-image artwork designed for projection onto the historic facade of Nolhaga Slott. Run-time: 4.20min.
