Matt Copson's Laser Flowers Bloom on Fridericianum Facade for Kassel Museum Night
This year's Kassel Museum Night features a unique installation by British artist Matt Copson, titled Flowers (2026), which alters the Fridericianum's exterior. The temporary artwork showcases eight vibrant laser projections that bathe the entire facade in light, utilizing projectors commonly used in clubs and theatrical performances. Animated flowers continuously bloom, wither, and fade into abstraction, transforming the building into a surreal landscape as lasers carve lines of light through the night. Accompanying this visual spectacle is a live ambient score by British-Polish artist felicita, enhancing the experience. Unlike Copson's previous works, which were typically designed for indoor settings, this outdoor installation marks a significant shift. The Kassel Museum Night, an annual celebration of the city's cultural institutions, highlights this projection as a key feature.
