For 50 days, from December 9 to January 29, the Mae Fah Luang Art and Cultural Park in Chiang Rai, Thailand’s northernmost province, is illuminated by works of art making up the “Light of Life” outdoor installation. The park’s first-ever lighting event aims to reboot Chiang Rai as the destination for art enthusiasts after the quiet years of the coronavirus pandemic.

 

Six Thai artists and four studios including experienced stage and light designer Phol Huiprasert have been enlisted for the first edition of the light festival at the Park. The artists and light designers have made these works, especially for the event.

 

Unlike an average light installation with a rainbow of colours, the Light of Life installation performs on a white light only. Inspired by the work of Princess Srinagarindra (the Grandmother of King Rama 10) in Chiang Rai, the restorative white light – which actually contains all seven colours –represents the princess’s efforts and guidance to improve and leverage the quality of life of local people in Chiang Rai and beyond.
