The Trame di Luce light art exhibition returns to Rome's Botanical Gardens from 30 November to 6 January 2025.
Light art with a Christmas theme
The event organised by IMG and the Be.it Events team, which is also responsible for the artistic direction, is a unique experience that gives a new light to Christmas, and this year the route, has been designed for all ages. With a truly seductive spectacle of installations and unprecedented and interactive light artworks, all with low environmental impact, Trame di Luce has been created in collaboration with national and international artists.
The entrance is at the National Academy of the Lincei
Divided into 22 stages, the works of light art, some of which have never been seen before, have been created specifically for Rome, and have been inspired by the themed events realised by the IMG group in Windsor Park in Great Britain and in the Domaine National de Saint Claude in Paris. From the very first moment the creations lead into a dreamlike dimension. Thousands of traditional and innovative lighting installations will create spectacular and luminous works of art, filling the gardens of the Botanical Garden with magic along an immersive en plein air itinerary of light art with a low environmental impact and designed for a public of every age.
“Visitors will become co-protagonists”
“This will be an even more spectacular edition, bringing a new light to Christmas and its traditions, thanks to the artists who are the protagonists of the installations and light works- says creative director Silvia Dorigo. -This year, moreover, visitors will not participate in the tours as mere spectators but will be involved to the point of becoming co-protagonists of the route themselves, contributing to composing the magic in which they will be immersed.”
QR codes to interact with the installations
Another novelty of this edition will be a free story accessible to everyone via QR codes distributed along the route; a story that will offer hints on how to understand, approach and interact with each work. Admission to the sensorial Trame di Luce exhibition is at the Accademia Nazionale dei Lincei in Via Corsini 25, and tickets can be purchased on www.tramediluce.it or directly on site. The cost varies from €12 to €25, with packages for families and groups, and reductions for certain categories. The opening hours, from 6pm to 11pm (with the last admission at approximately 9pm), will be from Saturday 30 November 2024 to Monday 6 January 2025, from Wednesday to Sunday, with special openings every day from Thursday 26 December to Monday 6 January.
