This is a workshop we did in the first semester. The temple garden,which located in Neuruppin(a town in Brandenburg, Germany. ), is said to be a landmark of this area.
We were responsible for a lighting event hold in this park. Almost every local resident knows this park quite well. There are partettes, statues, trees and porches. They appeared in silence during the desolate winter.What we want to do is to creat an-other world, a world in fairy tale, a fairy tale praise the night.
After devided in groups, we started our work. Our group is in charge of lighten the statues, including 3 parterres, 8 big statues and 10 small ones. The positions are shown in the plan.

ProcessFor the shrubs: We hided christmas light into the shrubs around the “vase” statue. The shimmering light became softer in the shrubs and appeared like stars lyin’ in the ground.
We also used color changing strip LED under the scrubs. The LED were programed and changing very slow to make a fascinate rhythm.
For the statues:The oilcan was put into the “alter”. Fire can always keep a kind of magic charm, which call out natural imagine.
We fixed metal halide lamps in different places around the statues to find a best way of the lighting. Every sculpture has its own characteristic.The lighting strengthen them.
Result
The lighting event attracted hundredsof people came to visit. It was a bigactivity for neuruppin in that night. Some visitors were surprised when entering the garden. There were no spectacular green walls and red trees. Fires were burning in the shells, the Oriental Gate was shrouded in a mysterious warm light. At the traffic circle spread a network of small lights that floated like fireflies around the illuminated vases. Cold light and warm fire Gegenpohle formed andconnected individual garden areas.From the dark backdrop of sculptures or stone faces appeared, blue light, put the bizarre branches of trees and hedges in a mysterious scene. Illuminated by candles, the path wound its way up to the tower at the corner of the garden. What light brought us, is another world in the dark.
