Anni Laukka is a Finnish artist, with an amazing eye for building shadows. In Please don't take us the material is bronze, but she's also used found sea trash, teddy bears from Ukraine, lego blocks and kitchen utensils, just to name a few. Her art is straightforwardly political and very humane; staggering and touching at the same time.

Raphaëlle Martinez's papercut animation La rubrique des pigeons was a nostalgic perk in the very digital-looking Video Mapping festival of Lille. Even the info text about a pigeon delivering a message was missing fashionable key words – but the artwork delivered its message perfectly all the same. Congratulations for the special mention in the competition!

All this money – and it sings, too! Shadi Jafarabadi's Monetary Mirrors in Videomapping festival of Lille was as political as it was colourful. A very nice exception of the power mapping tradition.

There are even smaller light art pieces than what we see in Thesmallest festival. Some of them have been displayed at Gallery 1:10 - Mood Board,
a project by artist Anna Lidberg. It is a miniature gallery with miniature artworks from different artists, some of them using light.

As seen at the ever-lovely and totally redommended Arvika Ljus! festival in 2024. https://arvikaljus.se/en/arvika-ljus-2024/
