The Geometry of Comets

This year, the light installation in Kitukränn features five playful comets by visual artist Mollu Heino. The stars have landed midway along the alley, coming to a halt, and their interiors can be glimpsed through small openings. Inside, a continuum of golden reflections unfolds, where various geometric shapes repeat endlessly.

The artist explains that it feels as though the world has gone so crazy that anything could happen – so why not comets in Kitukränn? The anatomy of the five luminous comets that have landed in the alley varies. One has a long tail, another seems to spin around itself, yet all share a glowing, golden, and angular core.
