'Voyage' by Aether & Hemera: A Journey Into Imagination

This year’s Winter Lights is a new work specially created for Canary Wharf by Aether & Hemera, a partnership of architect Claudio Benghi and lighting artist Gloria Ronchi.

Enlivening Middle Dock during the dark winter months, ‘Voyage’ consists of 300 floating “paper boats”, illuminated from within by coloured LED lights that come alive between around dusk and 2am putting on a spectacular light show. The installation is an interactive experience that people can engage with from their mobile phones.

‘Voyage’ aims to encourage viewers to make a transition from reality to imagination and to travel with absolute freedom to all the places we care to imagine, inviting us to re-live childhood memories and to embrace our freedom.
